Dead week is finally here. We are not only dreading it because it is one step closer to finals, but also ecstatic because it is one step closer to winter break. It's the week where even though it's considered "dead," we still have class, presentations, final projects, and of course studying. Oh, and you can't forget the some of us that decide to give up on the semester and go out every day of the week. Either way, we all have to take finals which we can all agree, we hate. Here are thoughts we have during the progression of dead week.
Monday: We are so overwhelmed with the amount of things we have to do, we just don't do anything at all. "I'll just start tomorrow!"
Tuesday: We tell ourselves we are going to start studying, but then remember we have a presentation/project/assignment due tomorrow, so we do that instead. "Whatever, I'll start studying tomorrow."
Wednesday: You finally turn in your project, or do your presentation, and now it's time to study, but you're tired from doing the last minute touches so you take a nap and realize you can't study tired. "Okay, I'll actually start tomorrow."
Thursday: Okay you finally go to the library and begin to study for the test you think is going to be the hardest. You then get texts from your friends saying let's go out so what do you do? Go out. "I've been working hard I need to have some fun."
Friday: You then realize you wasted your whole week for studying and start to panic just a little bit. You tell yourself you're going to be okay even if you don't truly believe yourself. "Just breathe."
Saturday: Okay so you studied sort of a good amount yesterday, so no need to study on a Saturday right? "Today is a break day."
Sunday: "Okay, I'm screwed."
Good luck on finals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
