The 12 Stage Of Finals Told By New Girl

It's that time again, folks. Finals week is upon us. The most dreaded time of the semester because well finals. But the most anticipated time of the semester because summer break! Though some people handle finals week quite well, most handle it like the cast of New Girl would. Here are the 12 stages of finals, told by the gang.

1. You plan to start studying three to four weeks in advance like a good student, and you’re proud of yourself for having your life together.


2. You procrastinate for three weeks and suddenly realize that finals being in seven short days.

3. You begin to go into overdrive mode and study everywhere. The couch, the bus, at dinner, during your lunch break or even in the shower while simultaneously crying your eyes out. (If you laminate your papers, your tears will roll right off).


4. It’s three days before your final and you’re freaking out, but you’re also hungry.


5. You begin to question all of the time you wasted, wondering if procrastination is actually a medical illness, but then realize you did it to yourself.


6. The night before finals are here and you’re wondering why you signed up for American Lit, because it is most definitely not lit.


7. The morning of finals are here and you were supposed to wake up at 4:30 a.m. to finish studying, but it’s now 8 a.m. and your final is at 9 a.m.

8. You’re walking to your final and realize that you’re not prepared in the slightest and start planning your future as a lonely minimum wage employee.

9. You sit down to take you final and a sudden calmness washes over you because you actually know the answer to the first question.

10. You take the rest of the final and realize that your life is over.

11. You get back to your room and your roommate asks how your final went and you're like:

12. You realize that you’re officially done with this semester and you can finally relax.

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.
