Finals week is rough for everyone. Teachers expect you to remember every minute detail from each lecture. Tests are three hours long. There are hundreds of multiple choice questions and open responses. Every student is burned-out from studying. By the end of the week, you look like a walking zombie. You're living off of coffee and cheese puffs. It may not seem like all of the studying and long nights will be worth it, but in the end you'll live and pass the class. Here are some thoughts that every student has during this tough week, as told by the cast of "Grey's Anatomy."
1. I’ve calculated my grade, and to get an A in this class, I need to get a 203 percent on my final…
2. I’m having my sixth cup of coffee today. That’s normal, right?
3. I'm grumpy, because I haven’t had a good night's sleep in over a week.
4. Why do I have so much responsibility? I may be in college, but I still don’t know how to be an adult and function in society.
5. You finally venture out of your room or the library to get food, and you wolf down every piece of food in front of you.
6. Those moments when you reconsider your major and consider dropping out. You'll eventually snap out of it and realize that life will go on -- even if you don't pass.
7. There’s always that one person in your lectures who has the notes memorized word for word. What an over achiever.
8. The feeling when you take a break and look at your social media and see pictures of people partying and hanging out. How do you have time for this? Shouldn't you be studying?
9. Rewriting your notes and making flashcards and then realizing you don’t remember any of the information. Did I even attend class?
10. That feeling right before you enter the exam room. There is a large pit in your stomach, and you aren't sure if you're going to cry or throw up.
11. The amazing feeling after you've finished your finals and the school year, and now you can begin your summer!
This week may be tough but you'll work through it. Good luck on your finals! Think positive thoughts and you'll do great!
