A Path Through Studying For Finals

Finals week: a time of little sleep, lots of stress and unpredictable brain power.

By the time the end of the year hits, students just want to get the learning over with and head into summer, a time of sunshine and good times.

But before we get our freedom from classes, notes, reading and exams we must finish of with our final exams and projects. (because just a test isn't enough, I also have to write a paper and do a group presentation right before that to "apply my knowledge")

And to prepare for all of these lovely exams, papers and projects we have coming around the corner, we study of course because we are great students who want to pass and move to summer time.

Here are 9 Memes that describe the process of studying for finals:


1. Finals Are Around The Corner

Realizing Finals week is next week and you have 3 projects, 2 papers and 5 finals due next week...so of course you go out with your friends and start a new series on Netflix, just to prepare yourself for all the stress you have already created.

2. Motivation

Finals are important to say the least so studying is a no brainer; if only you can find your motivation.


3. Time Management

When you realize how much time you have to study, but remembering you have to work around your naps, social life, shows to catch up on and food you need to eat. With all the stuff going on there is almost no time at all to study.


4. Setting Goals

Eventually you find some time and motivation and start setting goals for the effort you will put into your studying. Remember all you need to do is pass.


5. Mastering Subjects

Sometimes the late night or early morning crash sessions make you feel like an expert. The knowledge usually lasts long enough to take the final, then who needs it anymore!

6. Opportune Studying Moments

Planning the best time to study is important. Like later when Im done with this episode, or after I take this BuzzFeed quiz on which Harry Potter character I am, or after reading an article about studying for finals. Eventually it will happen, all this is just preparation.


7. Giving up... Kinda

When you get to the point where you have studied and you feel like your brain is melting so you are ready to throw in the towel. But after realizing the badass life you want that starts with graduating college plus all the work you put into the class, you realize that you kinda need to pass.


8. Being Prepared

You've reached the point where if you look at your notes one more time you think you might be losing information; your just not sure if its because you are ready or because you are so far gone. Either way, time to move on.


9. Here We Go...

At last the time for studying is gone and its time to put all that knowledge to use. Even if you are nervous at least when its over you wont have to study anymore. So go out, put all the studying and information to good use.


So get to studying so you can get go confidently and crush those finals! You got this!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
