This is the time of year in which all of the college students start to determine whether or not they will have to sink in more money for college. Finals are the most stressful and worst thing thing that students have to go through and the stress that they all go through is unbearable. One test in every class could determine whether or not you will fail the class. You could be getting an A in that class and then the professor hits you with a cumulative exam, in which you get tested over everything they have taught you. This is when most students go into panic mode. Cramming like there’s no tomorrow for something that you most likely won’t even remember the day after for a class that isn’t even apart of your major.
Colleges all around the globe have finals and the two weeks that it happens a year, everyone starts pulling all nighters, getting too little of sleep, and even suicide. Some students commit suicide during finals week more than any other week because of the intense pressure that is put on them. This week is known for giving students depression and drug use like adderall because it keeps you focused for studying. These things are relevant every year and they keep on becoming larger and larger problems.
This week is known for everyone trying to bring their grades up from the depths of hell, because slacking can only go for so long until you finally figure it out. This is when students start studying for the exam the day before for every class so for that time you are a professional. I can say that I am a professional when it comes to last second studying and do pretty well and pass. This is when I start getting into the “focus on one thing and everything else can wait” mode. In order to be successful for finals week, you have to focus on one class at a time. If you try doing more than one class at a time, you start crossing them over and you would remember something from different classes. This sucks, especially if both of those classes are in your major because they could be close in a way you would confuse them. That doesn’t happen to me because I focus on one class at a time. This is not my first rodeo.
Finals week are the worst time in a students’ life because of the way we try to keep it together for just one more week before we let lose on break. It’s that “You are so close” type of feeling that you are right there and just want to be done, but you aren’t done yet. You still have to endure one more all-nighter or just one more cram session before you either rock the hell out of it, or just figure out that school isn’t for you and start thinking about being in the circus. We understand! Every year is the same, but we all have to go through it and this is why finals week are the worst weeks of the year for students.
