Finals as Told by Grey's Anatomy

Finals as Told by Grey's Anatomy

You're flying through second semester and know the end is in sight. Summer is so close you can taste it, but first you have to get through the daunting task of finals. Like any good surgeon knows, some tasks (finals) are unpleasant, but in order to save the patient (your GPA) you just have to get through them.

It starts when your professor mentions your final exam in a few weeks and how you should start studying now.


When you finally start to study, you don't understand anything, and no one else seems to get it either.

People keep telling you it's just an exam and you think…


You continue looking over all of the materials and think, "Did I even learn half of this stuff?"


You see your friends' Snap Chats and wish you could be out with them instead of studying.


The night before you have a breakdown because you just aren't ready to take this test.


You question why you even took this class to begin with.


You hit rock bottom, accept that you can't cram anymore and crash for the night.


The morning of an exam, silence is your best friend. You just need to clear your head and prepare for the painful day ahead.


You walk into the exam feeling okay, and then realize you didn't bring a pencil. Guess you'll have to borrow one.


You look over the questions and think, "This has to be a joke, right?"


You finish the exam and you realize that you probably just killed your GPA.


And there's that one jerk who you know aced the exam.


But then you remember that it's officially summer so you don't even care!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

winter

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
