The Five Phases of a Final as told by the Five Stages of Grief

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at JHU chapter.

Let’s be honest, most of the time, finals season feels a lot like a funeral- for your shot at grad-school.

1.     Denial: you studied for this exam, you feel prepared. Midterms are always exactly like the practice tests, right?

2.     Anger: WHY EVEN GIVE A PRACTICE TEST IF IT’S GOING TO BE NOTHING LIKE THE ACTUAL TEST?!?

3.     Bargaining: you will sell your soul to be within five points of the average. Is this class curved?

4.     Depression: In 100 years you’ll be dead and it won’t matter what your grade was in Organic Chemistry. Existence is fleeting and grades are meaningless.

5.     Acceptance: You never really wanted to become a surgeon anyway.

Chiropractors are basically the same as medical doctors….what is the acceptance rate at chiropractic school?
