The Four Types Of Finals You'll Take

While all finals may seem alike in their torturous ways, here are the four types you're likely to find at the end of your school term.

Finals, finals, finals. That's all we seem to discuss as our classes draw to a close. While everyone can agree that finals are abhorred across any campus, you'll notice that each test has a certain “type” it fits into. So, let's dive in.

1. The unreasonably difficult final.

You know the one. That 200-page cumulative exam that you only get half an hour to finish. That one will probably pop up at least once a year (if you're that lucky). This test tells you one of two things: your professor thinks they're an amazing teacher that taught your class well or, your professor is just itching to make your life a living hell. Either way, chances of passing are far less than ideal.

2. The final you have no excuse not to ace.

If you're lucky, you'll have more than one of these in a semester. It's the final that requires only the most basic understanding of the subject, takes under an hour to complete, and you're 95 percent sure the teacher won’t even read your answers before branding it with an “A."

3. The ghost final.

You know that each class must have a final. That's just how classes go. However, this professor has uttered no words about this mystery test. Asking your professor for any information usually results in a “don't worry about it” or a “we’ll discuss the final later." You may start to worry. You may not. Who knows? Maybe they'll forget about the final.

4. The final that would be easy if you actually paid attention in class.

If you're being honest, you’ll admit that this class wasn't wildly difficult. Had you spent class time paying attention to the lecture instead of rereading the Twilight series on your phone, you might be prepped for this exam. Alas, you’ve made this fatal mistake and now you're left to wallow in regret and useless notes. Once again, happy testing!

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Singing is something I do all day, every day. It doesn't matter where I am or who's around. If I feel like singing, I'm going to. It's probably annoying sometimes, but I don't care -- I love to sing! If I'm not singing, I'm probably humming, sometimes without even realizing it. So as someone who loves to sing, these are some of the feelings and thoughts I have probably almost every day.
