The time has finally come when semesters are ending, and students are beginning to cram for finals and last-minute extra credit to boost their grades. The only thing on their mind at this time is getting that "A" they desire. It is becoming difficult to get in the holiday spirit due to all of this, and Buddy the Elf shows very well how students feel during this stressful, frantic time.
When you’re doing absolutely everything but the one thing you should be doing...
When students are stressed, they tend to believe that ignoring the situation and hoping all the work will go away will somehow magically happen as a “Christmas Miracle”.
When your teacher constantly says, “You’ll be fine,” just to get you to stop complaining...
They always say it. “You’ll be fine.” “Your grade won’t change too much.” HA- Little do they know, we actually have no idea what the “semester review” is talking about.
When you keep making the same mistake while studying EVERY SINGLE TIME...
Whether it is a single wrong word on a flashcard or saying the opposite of what it should be, the repetitive mistakes tick students off until they are about to reach their breaking point.
When you study material that won’t even be on the final...
Oh, yes. Then, this happens. When you just thought it couldn’t get any worse, you realize that you’ve been studying the wrong material the entire time. Such a mistake often makes students ask themselves why they are even in school in the first place.
When the caffeine finally hits during the study session...
With endless cups of coffee to keep the studying streak alive, the rush hits at the most random moments and intensifies until you crash.
When you tell your parents you will most likely fail the final...
Then, there comes the doubt. When the hours of studying seem to get you nowhere, you accept the fact that you’ll fail, drop out of school and ruin your life (which will not happen even if you think that’s the only option).
But…..when you find out you actually aced the exam...
How did it happen? Who knows. All you know is that you managed to pull it off. With tears of joy and lots of excitement, screaming of happiness is something will likely to occur.
