We all know what it's like to take college finals. Some you can breeze through, while others make you want to cry before, during and afterwards. No one, I repeat, no one enjoys taking finals. At the beginning of the semester, we're all hoping and praying that the professors don't say the dreaded words "cumulative final." It's hard enough remembering all the information for one test, let alone the entire semester. As a sophomore in college, I have now been through four semesters of finals and let me tell you, finals week brings out the crazy. However, all being in the same boat, no one will judge you for what happens throughout the week. Here are a few things that happen during finals week that college students accept as normal.
1. You can sleep anywhere and no one will judge because they wish they'd thought of it first.
2. The amount of coffee consumed is tremendous.
3. You've lost count of how many all-nighters you've pulled.
4. You see people in the library or class that you've never seen before.
5. You contemplate dropping out every five minutes, thinking, "Is it all worth it?"
6. You'll cry at the drop of a hat.
7. You've eaten Taco Bell or McDonalds every day with no shame.
8. You've got your mind on that beach trip you planned with your friends.
9. You watch Netflix instead of study because you think you have time...
10. You see people in the same clothes as the day before due to all-nighters.
11. You don't actually know what day it is...or even month.
12. You haven't seen the sun in a week.
13. You see high schoolers freaking out over finals and just laugh at them.
14. You have to start packing up your room for the summer, and it stings a little.
15. You see high schoolers on college tours and think, "It's a trap. Don't put yourself through this!"
16. When you pass your finals, you know God has big plans for your life.
17. You can now breathe because you're on summer break!
Happy finals week and may the curve be ever in your favor!
