Finals week: Everyones favorite time of the year. A time for extreme stress, tears, cranky roommates and, my personal favorite, lack of sleep. Even mentioning the "f word" is enough to make most people freak out, even if it is just a little bit inside. Thankfully, the members of the Breakfast Club can relate to us all. If they can make it through a Saturday detention, than trust me, you can make it through finals week.
1. The morning after a late-night cram session
2. When your professor says you can use a notecard as a cheatsheet![]()
3. Doing everything except studying
4. "I will drop your lowest grade."
5. When your grade is not at all what you expected it to be
6. When your school provides free late-night meals
7. There's always that person that says they don't have to study for finals.
8. "I don't round up grades, I don't care how close you are to the next letter grade."
9. "There are no multiple choice questions on this final."
10. After you have studied for 23 consecutive hours and still know nothing
11. And when finals end...
You don't need an article to tell you that finals week is stressful, but when you start to feel like you just cant do it anymore, remember this: each one of us is a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess and a criminal. (Hopefully your finals don't drive you to be a criminal, but hey.) Don't underestimate yourself and go and rock those finals!
Sincerely yours, the Breakfast Club
