The questions we ponder upon and mumble underneath our breath during finals...

Finals week is fast approaching and it seemed like yesterday it was the first day of classes. Now it is the last few weeks of the semester and already wondering where our sleep went. Professors are giving tests, papers, and assignments out like candy for Easter. I literally question what did I ever do to my professor to give this much work out. Here are seven questions I have for my professors during final's week.

1. Do you remember your own finals back in undergraduate school?

Do you remember what if felt like to only get around four to five hours a night? Or the tired feeling of not getting enough and feeling like the day is a blur? Do you remember what it felt like to stress about finals? Do you remember the long nights in the library or study groups for a class?

2. Should I have brought you food for class?

Maybe if I had sucked up to you a little bit more, that last quiz before finals would not have been posted. Maybe I should bring you cookies or a cupcake on the day of the final for a few extra bonus points.

3. If I lie on the course evaluation, will you take that last research paper off the syllabus?

Some people read those ratings about professors and might take a class from you. You have a chance to change your horrible teaching habits.

4. Do you stress over finals?

Does your workload go over board and you have to actually stay up to 10:00 p.m. grading electronic assignments? Or cause you have to drink two cups of coffee in the morning because you could not sleep well? Is it possible for you to even remember what stress is during finals?

5. Do you give out a study guide... that will actually have questions that will be on the final?

If not, I won't waste my time filling it out. I refuse to waste time I could be napping, Netlfixing, or studying for another class. I am tired of study guides that are useless for exams and finals. They are a complete waste of time in life.

6. Do I even have a chance at getting an A on this final?

Do you somehow curve from a C to an A? Or will I be frantically studying for the class I hate most and the tests never are from the slide show presentations? Is the material on the final from the notes I wrote down for 2 hours?

7. Do you consider my workload?

Do you realize I have other classes outside of this class? Or the fact that I have a part-time job after your class. What about those tedious assignments you give that have no purpose? Do you have a heart?

Good luck with finals, and may the odds ever be in your favor.
