Ah, finals week. Studying, no sleep, and endless coffee. Yes, college is a beautiful dream. Here are the stages of finals week.
1. You start off strong thinking that you will murder all of your tests and be amazing this time.
2. You truly believe you've studied enough. You think that you are prepared to crush it.
3. But then you go through the denial phase, but know it's also too late to quit now. This test could totally get canceled right? No. It never happens so don't bank on that.
4. Anger sets in and you question your teacher's loyalty? We talked about shoes and I complemented her. Never again will I be polite. Ugh, I thought we were friends.
5. After that failed meeting, you realize you have to study a little harder. Well, I guess she was fake so now I have to get it together and actually try.
6. Or not. So now the praying comes in to play. Stop in at the campus church on your way to class.
7. If that doesn't work, then just resort to begging. It might help. Make sure you use tears. (Imagine puppy with big eyes and floppy ears and fluffy fur.) Real tears.
8. In the end, all you can do is wait. Teachers take forever when your educational future is at stake. But just remember: If this finals week sucked, there's always next semester, so there's that.
***While writing this, I was completely avoiding studying for my own finals. You're welcome for the tips. I plan to use these tomorrow. Good luck on finals everyone (crying now)!!!
