The Oh So Dreaded Finals Week

Coffee, coffee, coffee.

The Oh So Dreaded Finals Week
collegemagazine.com

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.

Knowing you won't get to see your friends the entire summer makes studying for finals hard!

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!

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
