The most wonderful time of year is upon us once again. Of course I'm talking about finals week, and by wonderful, I meant soul crushingly depressing. The emotions that come along with finals week can be equated to a roller-coaster. We go from feeling like we are on top of the world as we are getting ready to complete another semester, to feeling near death caused by the lack of sleep, nutrition, and a setting that is something besides the library.The beginning of the week when you feel like the end of this semester will be your best one yet.
A few hours into studying when you realize you actually did not learn anything this semester....
When you call your mom just to tell her you're dying and she tries to give you a sub-par pep talk.
And you want to tell her that your career as a stripper is looking pretty bright.
Researching "how to find a sugar daddy" because this whole studying thing is not working.
Having your first mental breakdown
7. And then your second....
Then your third..... and the cycle just keeps going.
When you're trying to convince the smart kid to turn you into a genius overnight.
Looking at the freshmen who thought college was all fun and games, partake in mental breakdowns as well.
When you've just got through your third night without any sleep and caffeine is life.
When you and your friends decide to do a study group, but it just turns into a group panic attack.
When you're spending all your time studying, but your roommate has decided to turn to partying to cope with all the feels of finals.
When you just begin to question your entire existence....
Apologizing to everyone you've been snapping on thanks to all the stress.
When you flip your first final over, and realize nothing makes sense
When your professor tells you good luck as they hand you the test
Walking out the door AFTER YOUR LAST FINAL
But you look at your grades and realized the class you thought you made an A in, was actually a C....
So, for this finals week, tap into your inner Braverman and kill it!
