Considering finals are pretty much tomorrow, there is no better time to check your grades like right now. You're scrolling through, come across some decent (average) grades, and then your heart stops. The lowest grades you have ever received startle you as they appear on the computer screen. You have now accepted what you have to do if you want to countdown to 2016 with your friends, but you didn't come to this conclusion until you experienced the stages of realization brought to you by Thad Castle.
1. The Initial Shock
It's OK to cry, you don't know if your parents will let you live to see another semester.
2. Going to Your Professor
You want your professor to know you are going into this with a super positive attitude. So positive that you start screaming...in agony.
3. Telling Your Parents
There is no way to say it. "Hey Mom and Dad! Uh, I might be absolutely tanking a class at that school you pay kind of a lot of money for me to go to."
4. Telling Your Friends
They want you to know it's going to be OK. It sucks, but you might make it through.
5. Getting Help
Go and get a tutor or something, but make sure they know you're not dumb.
6. Make Your Study Guide
The material looks scary, I know. If Thad can make it through his hallucinations, you can make it through studying.
7. Exam Day
Blood, sweat, and tears have been put into this very moment. You may look like you haven't showered or seen the light of day in a about a week, but you're ready.
Whether you're about to ace your finals or potentially watch your GPA go down the toilet, there is no better way to go through it like Thad Castle. Win or lose, you will have a reason to treat yourself to a couple mojitos.
