Surviving Finals Week, As Told By RuPaul's Drag Race
newnownext

Finals week is a week for all high school and college kids to study up on what they have learned for the entire semester and somehow retain all of that. Some teachers/professors make it cumulative and some just count it as a final test. Whatever this week may mean to you, there is a similar feeling that everyone going through it feels. That feeling is either panic, stress or overall confusion. Here is a breakdown of finals week with some sassy queens.


1) Realizing that next week is finals week.

2) Also realizing how much class you missed/skipped.

.

3) Getting a plan to start studying early and not get stuck cramming the night before.

4) Getting all of the study guides.

When did we learn any of this?

5) Planning on studying when getting home.

6) But instead you just crash on your bed.

7) You randomly get motivated to study.

And realize you got this. You actually DO know this stuff.

8) But then you start to doubt yourself.

9) The long nights start to take a toll on you.

10) Little things start to irritate you when you are in public because of sleep deprivation.

11) You start to run on coffee and a dream alone.

12) You try to do anything to distract yourself from studying.

13) When you realize you got too distracted and your first final is tomorrow.


14) So you try to cram it all in the night before.

15) Until the point where you can't do it anymore.

Just going to hope for the best

16) Waking up 10 minutes before the exam starts.

17) Getting to class and looking at the test paper.

18) Being convinced half of the material was not on the study guide.

18) How you feel after finishing the exam.


19) The look you give your teacher/professor when you turn in the exam, hoping for mercy while they grade it.

20) Leaving the exam room.

You can finally breathe!

21) Walking across campus, confident that you at least passed.

22) Realizing you have at least three more exams to prepare for

23) When studying all of the subjects begin to blend together.

24) Going to your last exam.

25) Actually feeling really good about what you just did.

26) Waiting for your final grades to be posted.

27) Looking at your final grade and seeing you that you have passed everything

28) When finals week is over and you survived

29) Until next semester...

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads.
