This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at JMU chapter.
Step 1: You frantically go your professor’s office hours begging for extra credit and get irrationally angry when they say they can’t raise your C to an A.
Step 2: You look at your calendar and realize you have 3 finals in one day.
Step 3: You still have 2 days until the final exams, and your friends invite you to come drink. You know you shouldn’t, but you’ll be fine right?
Step 4: Finally, the next day you work up the courage to start studying, but realize you know nothing.
Step 5: You study for an hour, and of course since you put all of that hard work in, you should probably reward yourself with a “short” Netflix break. You look at the clock and realize that break turned into binge watching The Office for 5 hours.
Step 6: You go back to studying, and you put a few good hours in until you realize your brain can’t take anymore.
Step 7: You go find your friends so you can all soak in your sadness together.
Step 8: You wake up early and chug coffee in hopes that it will give you the brain power you need to power through.
Step 9: So then, you just give up and let Jesus take the wheel on these finals and accept failure. Of course, you blame your professors because it can’t be your fault you just started studying for these finals yesterday.
Step 10: You start to take the exam and realize your professor didn’t teach you any of this, or you were never in class for it, whatever the case is, you’re shit out of luck.
Step 11: You finish the exam and turn it into your professor.
Step 12: Then you walk out of those exams and celebrate, cause you did it!
Step 13: But then you realize you have to leave all of your best friends for the summer and the sadness kicks in.
Happy summer Dukes!
