With only about three more weeks left until freedom via graduation, the work just keeps on coming. You'd think if you're about to leave in roughly 20 days that there were be no more seven-page papers, last minute tests worth 150 points, or simple and pointless assignments, but yet here we are!
For most seniors, it has been an ongoing internal struggle of fighting senioritis beginning in January. Do I try anymore or just submit some work I through together and hope for the best? After all, when you're three weeks away from graduating and have your cap and gown staring you down in the closet in the morning, it is so very hard to stay motivated.
Here are some questions you may have whilst doing this final homework:
"If I take a zero on this assignment will I still pass the class?"
C's get degree's amirite... I'm right.
"WHY, JUST WHY?"
A seven-page paper in the last month of my collegiate career, are you for real? You think I have time for this because I do not, I'm trying to adult here and binge watch as much Netflix as possible before really having to adult.
"What counts as a respectable GPA to graduate with? Follow up: If I pull straight C's will I meet that requirement?"
Halfway between not really trying to do any more work, but also don't want to ruin the work I've done in the past three and a half years. Finish strong or just mentally graduate already?
"Someone please explain to me why I have a final TWO days before graduation?"
Does this make sense to anyone? Are you trying to set me up for failure? What if I somehow completely bomb this final and can't graduate!!!
"How have I made it this far without getting textbooks for two of my classes, but still am doing pretty well without it?"
Have all past seven semesters been a lie to get me to spend money? Have I just proved you do NOT need the textbook? Might be on to something highly suspicious.
"Do you think my professor really meant it when she said 'After two missed classes there will be grade repercussions'?"
*Adds up how many times you "overslept" and missed that 8 a.m.*
I'm sure she was just kidding...didn't seem too serious.
"Why do I have so many group projects?"
I get it, in the "real world" you have to work with other people... but quite frankly I just don't have the energy or social desirability to do that right now.
Whatever questions you're asking yourself RN, just remember you're so close. Just hold on and find your exit buddy!
