Two Different Reactions To Finals Week
Rebloggy

The start of the month of December marks the beginning of the winter holiday season (unless you're one of those people that bring our decorations in October) and everything that comes with it. If your in college, the beginning of December also marks the beginning of Finals season. One of the special times of the year when students suffer both slowly and painfully, can only be depicted accurately through one art form: Gifs. Below, you will find a (hopefully) accurate guide as to how one should react in certain situations, and how one actually acts in these circumstances.

1. When your friends try to get you to go out the weekend before finals


HOW YOU SHOULD REACT: Turn down any attempts to will distract you from studying.


HOW YOU ACTUALLY REACT: Says "I can take a small break" and disappears for the rest of the night.

2. When you know you have to go to the library to study

HOW YOU SHOULD REACT: Head straight to the library with a study group and use every resource available.


HOW YOU ACTUALLY REACT: Disappear, no one knows where you are. If you ignore the fact that you need to study, do you really need to study?


3. How prepared you feel before taking a final

HOW YOU SHOULD REACT: You are ready for anything your prof may throw at you. Everyone is impressed.


HOW YOU ACTUALLY REACT: You haven't been to this class all semester "Don't look at me, don't ask me any question other than my name."


4. Right before you take a final

HOW YOU SHOULD REACT: Keep calm, take a few deep breaths, it won't be that bad.


HOW YOU ACTUALLY REACT: Panic. You can't deal with this. You disappear. No one hears or sees from you again.


As we approach finals week, while it is important that we all remember everything that we learned over the course of the semester, we should also keep in mind that it does no good to take finals whilst being stressed and on 20 minutes of sleep. Remember to take a deep breath, get enough sleep, eat food that's good for you. Take the week before finals to complete any and all work that can be done ahead of time. Good luck!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

It's easier than you think.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
