Thoughts Every Student Has During Final Exams

mememaker.net

Final exams have a way of turning college students in scholastic zombies. For one week straight, college students can be found crowding (usually spacious) libraries and buying out coffee shops. Our faces have lost color besides the bruise like hue that decorates our eyes, and many will not be found wandering far from a library, unless it's to go to an exam, or find some addy...

Regardless of how finals have taken over your body and soul, we all have some of the same thoughts when it comes too final exams.

Cumulative Finals Are Cruel And Unusual

Why bring up the past? It's only going to impede on our ability to understand the material in depth. It's just asking for a lower class average.

Where Is My Planner?

Because from this point on, every second of your life is on a schedule. And all of it revolves around finals. Studying, completing online portions, doing review sheets....you can sleep when it's all over- It's game in.

Who Is The Smartest Person In This Class?

That's right. You were thinking about your professor too, and how the review guide is the best partner to study with!

Why Did I Not Follow Along With The Reading

Guess I just have have to prioritize now...

The Library Is Kind Of Cosy

Not sure if the homey feel is a hallucination from lack of sleep or actually comfortable. But i'll take it.

I'm Going To Fail

Eh, in reality those who study do well- remember that! (unless you have one of those professors that uses completely uncovered material- in which case...may the curve be ever in your favor)

I Must Isolate

If ever there is a time to do it- you may go into monk mode now!

And when it's all over the world will welcome us as we emerge from the depths of despair (finals*, sorry). We will be rewarded with a holiday break and during our time at home we will be supplied with home cooked food and a nice warm bed. The color will return to our faces and we will once again see past the pages on a textbook. The beautiful day when finals is over is coming. Just gotta push through. It'll all be worth it.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

"Nobody living in one of the most influential nations in the world should be worried about making ends meet."

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

1. When you have to provide an "interesting fact" for your first day ice-breaker.

2. When your professor is babbling on and on in his lecture.

3. When you edit your friend's paper and they get an A.

4. When it's 2 AM and you remember you have a test tomorrow.

5. When you finish taking the test and you're pretty sure you failed...

6. ...but then you get the test back and somehow passed.

7. When you've been up for 12 hours straight writing a paper.

8. And then you manage to stay awake in class the next day.

9. When you have to butter up your professor for an extra credit opportunity.

10. When you're assigned a group project.

11. And your group-mates are trying to chat about life instead of the assignment.

12. When it's your last class of the day and you're about to go home.

13. But then you remember rent is due tonight and the anger comes back.
