This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Bentley chapter.
As the semester dwindles down to its impending conclusion, the lingering threat of final exams and last minute essays is more omnipotent than ever before in the semester. Before we can head home for the holidays and sing “Fa la la la la,” we must first confront what’s sure to be a series of manic “ha ha ha ha ha’s” throughout the utter madness that is finals week. Here are the many blustering emotions that we all encounter throughout this taxing time in the semester, as told by the Christmas classic, Home Alone.
Angrily muttering to yourself when your professor assigns a major paper/project the week before finals
Spending hours studying…
…accompanied by an existential crisis as to whether or not you’ve actually retained any information
Calling home after a series of mental breakdowns amidst the finals preparation
Deciding that you’ve worked hard and deserve a break…followed by hours of procrastinating, courtesy of Netflix
Looking at the clock, only to be informed that its 4 AM, and the magnitude of your sleep deprivation has reached new heights
Waking up the morning of your first final, and trying to avoid your impending doom…
…followed by a brief spell of confidence when you put on your game face, pack up your financial calculator, and head out the door
Arriving to the exam, welcomed by a collective of other students equally as mortified as you are for what’s to come
The euphoric realization that you actually remember the material on the exam
What you’ll likely be compelled to say as you bid your professor a cathartic “adieu”
The rare instance when you get to go home before your friends, because the majority of your finals were essays
When you head home, and everyone asks the question you’ve been dreading all week: “So how did finals go?”
But, ultimately, being warmed by the fact that you can officially get into the holiday spirit
