9 Types of Tests You Take During Finals Week

It's that time of the year when most of us are finished with our finals, or are in the process of doing so. No matter which stage of finals week you're currently experiencing, it can definitely be assumed that finals week is at the front of your mind right now. So, let's talk about the types of finals that you probably experienced recently or are experiencing.


1. The Scantron Scam

Yeah, it's multiple choice. But, that doesn't make it easier in any way because the professor tries to trick you at every step of the way.

2. The Rabbit Trail Essay

The professor gives you some obscure, philosophical question to answer as part of your final and it probably doesn't have anything to do with the class's subject. So, you just make up two rambling pages about diversity and world peace and anything else kind of smart-sounding that you can think of.

3. The No-Calculator-Allowed Math Test

This is that final. You know, the one that gives you nightmares for the entire finals week. The nightmares aren't unfounded either, because this will probably be your reaction for most of the test:

4. The Open Book One

It seems easy, until you have to spend two hours finding all of the notes and handouts from the class before you actually go and take the test. Then, there's that one question on the test about some obscure term that your professor mentioned in class once. And you feel guilty to leave the question unanswered because you know it's in your notes, somewhere.

5. The Poisoned Goblet Test

The entire test is made up of true or false questions. This professor was probably too lazy to write up a better exam, so he/she decided to make everyone in the class suffer. Every time you try to settle on an answer, you feel like Vizzini from the "Princess Bride," deciding which answer is the right one and which one will kill you.

6. The Short Answer

It's all well and good, until you see the word "explain" at the end of every question.


7. The Internet Exam

Just as you open the timed test on your computer, either your laptop will die or a freak lightning storm will come out of nowhere and turn off all of the power. And the professor probably still won't let you retake the test.


8. The Stupidly Easy One

You put all of your effort into studying for this test, then you find out that it's actually the easiest one of all.

9. The *Insert Fire Emoji Here*

You studied for it and everything, so when you see the test you're like:

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
