During the end of the semester, every college student gets stressed, anxious, mad, and sad. A couple years ago i saw a list called "Finals Week As Told By Elf" and realized that Buddy relates to the end of the semester a lot. This will be different from the list I've read two years ago.

The face you make when you realize the semester is almost over and you've got a lot of work and studying to do. You try not to think about it but just can't help it.

Because you have so much to do in very little time, your schedule throughout the last two weeks becomes crazy with little or no organization.

In order to stay up and get studying and papers done and revised, you drink as much caffeine as you can in order to stay awake.

You begin to eat a lot in order to reduce the stress of finals which usually includes sugary junk food.

When a professor and/or TA tells you that their exams will be easy and/or will grade easy but you know better. They are just tricking you to study less so you can fail.

You only have very little time to sleep so you just lie about having a good amount of sleep when really you're cranky and tired due to being afraid of little or no time for sleep.

When you realize you've been slacking off for most of the semester and finally buckle down during the last two weeks. This applies to when you can't remember your mistakes throughout the whole semester. Relates to when it comes to taking the final and you can't remember much what you've studied or learned in lectures.

You start negative self talk due to the fact you have been skipping certain classes a lot and/or not paying good attention in certain classes during the semester. This also applies to when you're failing and in danger of failing a class due to not paying enough attention, skipping a lot,or not going to professor or TA office hours that often or not going at all along with other extra help on campus.

After you've taken your last final, you get very excited that the semester is finally over that you can enjoy winter or summer break until you have to come back the following semester and deal with finals again unless you've graduated.

But when you find out that you failed one of your classes or end up on academic probation, you start thinking that it's the end of the world or that your life is over and realize you may have to graduate late, take a summer or winter class, and in danger of being academically dismissed from the college or university forever.
