The Stages of Studying for Finals, as Told by Winnie the Pooh Characters

1. Cool, Calm and Collected

Owl


At this stage in the semester, you’ve been trying to pay a little bit more attention in class After partying from January to March, it’s time to buckle down and get your life together. You’ve made the index cards, study guides, and outlines, and you’re ready to go.

2. It’s Not Really That Bad

Pooh

Okay. By this point you, realize that you’re not as prepared as you thought you were, but it’s still not that bad. After creating all of those notes you know you’ve got some major studying to do. But you’ve got a plan. Nothing is as bad as it seems.

3. It Really is That Bad

Rabbit

You’re screwed and you know it. You don’t understand your notes. You’ve lost half of your index cards, and you’ve probably been wearing the same shirt for the past three days.

4. Depressed, Hating Life

Eeyore

By this time, you have probably completely given up on life. You hate yourself, your professors, your computer, and the large amounts of granola bars and coffee that you’ve consumed in the past week. You could honestly care less if you pass your finals or not.

5. Going into the Test

Piglet

Alright, not really. You really do want to pass and as you walk into the classroom to take your test, you’re terrified. You would rather be anywhere but there, staring into the eyes of your professor who you’ve maybe seen eight times this entire semester. Hope attendance doesn't factor in to you final grade.

6. Happy and Care-free

Tigger

You know that wonderful moment right after you’ve finished your all of your finals but you haven’t gotten your grades back yet, yea, you’re there and it’s great. You can binge watch Netflix, catch your flight or car ride home, or go out with all of friends to celebrate. For the next week you’ll experience the euphoria of not having to read or write anything. But beware of those random times where you wake up at 10:00 a.m. and forget that you don’t have class.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
