It's here.
Finals Week. May the odds be ever in your favor.
There are some extreme things that do happen during finals week and I would love to say that it has only happened once or maybe even that it has only happened to me, however I know that's not the case. Wouldn't you know, three years into college and some things just don't change. High school students - take some notes.
1. Everyone calculates their grades in each of their classes multiple times. They have put in about every variable including if they fail the test, because, well it's finals week and you never know what could actually happen at this time of year.2. People will look at a study guide for the first time for a class and actually begin to wonder if their professor gave the wrong study guide to the class. People will have literally been in class the whole time and not recognize a single term on the paper.
3. It is inevitable that people will begin to get sick. Lack of sleep, eating weird foods, and it's winter are not good combinations for 18 to 22 year old people right now.
4. It is acceptable for people to wear mismatching socks and green sweatpants - during finals week, no one questions what other people wear.
5. The frying of one's brain after staring too long at notes and books causes one to buy unnecessary items at Target, drink way to much coffee, and watch too many episodes of Castle.
6. Highlighting is key. Unless people have to highlight their whole dang book!!!
7. The Internet will distract you - let it.8. There are many students that haven't figured this out yet, but everyone should use their sense of humor during the semester so that come test time, they can draw pictures, use puns, and write jokes to try and get humor points in place of their lack of knowledge.
9. Girls especially begin to contemplate their major, but then they just remind themselves - an each other - just marry rich! Marry for money, love will come!
10. Then, once all finals have been completed, a mass celebration begins nation wide ... Until everyone looks at their classes for next semester only to see that finals in the spring will be at the very least, 100 times worse!!!!
HAPPY FINALS WEEK!
