When the school year started, it seemed so far away. Now finals week is closer, and more real than ever. Here are some thoughts – among many others – that you may be having right now:
1. Confusion
“Finals week? How is that even possible? We literally just started?”
2. Overwhelmed
That moment when you start mentally going over all of the things you have to study for.
3. SOS
Followed by the “I just want to go home and not have to deal with this right now” phase. You might have made a phone call or two back home in the process.
4. Picking up the Slack
If you’ve been doing mediocre work in that one class, you now realize you’ve really got to go above and beyond for that “A” average
5. Accomplishment
Despite the immense amount of stress you’re feeling right now, it means that you are one step closer to completing the year and graduating college. Winter break follows finals and then the fresh start of a new semester. You’ve got this!
