Thoughts While Waiting for Final Grades

Why is it taking so long? I definitely failed out.

Thoughts While Waiting for Final Grades
Relatably

Finals are over. You're home, and you have a little time to rest and relax before summer jobs start. It's the perfect time to catch up with friends, go out with all the people you went out with in high school, and unwind after a stressful semester. That is until you realize that grades haven't come in yet, so the remainder of this stress free time is consumed with the thoughts of your grades coming in.

Yes finals are over time to relax!

I haven't seen some of my high school friends in so long I can't wait to hang out with them.

I can't believe this semester is over, I don't think I would have lasted my longer.

I wonder if my grades are in yet?

Nope, none. Why aren't any in yet?

I know I just passed in my 16 page final paper yesterday but it should really be graded by now.

I'll give them a few hours, they have to be in soon.

OK, occupy yourself so you don't think about them.

Coloring for the next three hours sounds like a perfect plan, it's supposed to be a stress reliever right?

Maybe I should send my professors "Thank you for a great semester" e-mails so they will go easy on grading me.

Great, the one class I already knew my grade in, is in.

I can't take it anymore.

It's one A.M why am I checking my grades again? My professors are definitely not up and they are definitely not grading.

What is the cut off for getting grades in?

Are finals even over?

This is torture.

What if I did so bad they're just embarrassed to put my grade in because they feel bad?

Another grades in! OK I'm not doing too awful, things are looking up.

I'll just wait a day and then check my grades again. *Three hours later* Let's just check and see if any more are in.

I definitely failed, why isn't my grade in?

Today's the day, they have to be in today.

Ok, they're in, not as bad as I thought.

I guess I was overreacting just a little bit.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
