We all know the basic five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. But there are also five stages of pre-finals week. Ah, yes. Finals. It's the most nail-biting, hair pulling, tear-jerking, and stressful time of the year! I didn't realize it would be this stressful just thinking about it! So in honor of my new emotions and college experiences with testing, I have decided to share the five stages of pre-finals week to let you know that you're not alone.
1. Denial: You cannot believe "Finals" is a few days away! It's happening so fast you have to keep reminding yourself everyday.
2. Anger: When realization kicks in you start getting annoyed with everyone.
Your friends, your roommate, and even your favorite professors aren't safe!
3. Bargaining: You begin to compromise with yourself and try to keep up the motivation you've had throughout the semester.
4. Depression: But, you have absolutely no motivation to do anything anymore.
You just want to go home!
5. Acceptance: So you just decide to do your best and do whatever you can to stay sane.
In the end...
Good luck everyone!
