The time is upon us once again: Finals Week. This week rolls around once a semester, twice a year, and it feels like the end as we know it. Everyone who skipped class, doodled instead of taking notes, or passed their iclickers onto a friend will be visiting every teacher begging for extra credit. Everyone who went to class, took notes instead of doodled, and took their friends iclickers will also be visiting every teacher begging for extra credit. No matter how hard you work or how much time you put into your class there is always room for improvement, at least thats what our professors and grades like to show. So here is a list of how thousands of college students will feel throughout the next upcoming weeks:
1. Exhausted
There will be absolutely no sleep. If you're sleeping then you're not studying, and not studying means you will fail. So don't expect to sleep.
2. The emotion hangry becomes real
The only activity that takes place, besides studying, is eating. If you aren't studying then you are munching on cookies, pretzels, grapes, really anything in my way could risk getting eaten.
3. The library is the last place to go during finals week
Everyone may think the library is the one place you should go during finals week, but they are wrong. The library is the most social place in all of campus. No one studies, but they go there so they think they have studied, but in reality they talked to their friends or took 150 study breaks.
4. We learn how to fake it, even if we can't make it
Finals week is the one week where we, as college students, learn how to fake and hide our emotions. We act like we know what the teacher is talking about, we tell our parents (and ourselves) everything will be fine, and we might even dress to pretend like it is.
5. The day after finals is better then Christmas
The blessed day after finals can make anyone smile. You know you're finished and somehow managed to pull it off.
So good luck everyone!
