It's two weeks before finals. Have you sort of slacked the whole year and finally deciding to get your shit together? Same here. Here are a few thoughts about how I am feeling right about now:
1. When the teacher tells me the final is always the easiest.
I don't know about you, but if the final was the easiest, I wouldn't be chomping on my nails, calculating my "what if" score to see how low of a grade I can get on the test and still maintain a solid C.
2. Lol, Sundays.
Have you ever spent all weekend procrastinating? You had a great time. You got the privilege to see all of your friends. You look at the date. It's Sunday. 11:30 p.m. You have a paper due at midnight. Panic.3. "Are you sick?"
More than likely no. I just haven't showered, brushed my hair or eaten in the past four days, but it's fine because everyone is in the same boat as me, right?
4. Sleeping no longer fits into my schedule.
I feel like a new person if I go to bed before 1:00 a.m. during dead week. The bags I get under my eyes really compliment the determination and hard work I have finally decided to put into my education.5. I get a little emotional.
Someone may accidentally bump into me. I'll cry. I may spell a word wrong and my computer will autocorrect it. I'll cry. I may find a $10 bill on the ground. I'll cry. I'm not emotional right now, just losing my mind. It's fine.6. One of my study tips:
It actually works. Marker doesn't get blurry. Writing will always be clear. Oh, make sure you have tissues nearby, you don't want tears on your lap or all over your shirt.
7. I always make sure to thank the teacher.
Maybe mumble under your breath, though.
8. My stress level is Britney Spears in 2007.
I haven't shaved my hair off my head yet, so I guess I'm ahead on that.
9. So slap happy.
My reaction to everything that someone says, especially at 10 p.m.
10. Currently thinking about my last final and summer break.
Except I would keep the pencil because I am too broke.
We are all struggling, anxiety filled, sleep deprived students. Good luck to all of you, I know I am going to need it. Hang in there because summer break is so close. Just two more weeks. Thank God.
