The Ten Stages Of Finals Week
Laura Sewell

Finals week is almost over for most of us (HALLELUJAH)!!! We have all survived, or at least tried to, and have gone through many of these while suffering this terrible week:

Stage 1: Empowerment

We all go into this week thinking we have everything together and that studying for two minutes is enough to pass

Stage 2: Preparation

We make a million notecards and color code everything in case we actually study

Stage 3: Procrastination

We plan study groups and lock ourselves in the library for hours when we actually just get together to watch Netflix and procrastinate.

Stage 4: Thinking you remember every word said in the lecture

Because who needs to study when you actually paid attention, right?

Stage 5: Realizing you know nothing about Western Civ. or imaginary numbers

Stage 6: Studying the night before

Because sleeping after you learn the material is scientifically beneficial right?

Stage 7: Taking the final

When you look at the first question and forget everything and look at your friend like:

Stage 8: Stressing because you got different answers from your friends and you rethink your whole life plan

Stage 9: Passing (barely)

All you wanted was to pass, right?

Stage 10: Realizing you have a break now (and it's almost Christmas)

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.
