The 23 Stages of Finals, as told by Lizzie McGuire:

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

1. The date finally hits you that finals are just around the corner!

2. Your Professors take a few moments of class time to review what will be on the exam 

 

 

Yes of course…..*frantically checks syllabus*

 

3. And you instantly flash back to all the nights you should have been studying instead of hanging out with your friends or binge watching Grey’s Anatomy on Netflix

 

 

 

4. So you go to the library and hit the books to make up for lost time

 

 

You’ve got this

 

5. Hours pass and you start day dreaming about summer 

 

6. Some of your finals are cumulative so you have to find your notes from January….

Good luck

 

7. Your friends and suitemates are a little worried because you’ve missed dinner the past few days

 

8. Even after finishing all the study guides you’re scared because your professors are unpredictable  

 

 

9. Studying makes you hangry

 

 

10. So you retreat to Chipotle for some comfort food

 

 

Extra guacamole please 

 

11. Studying has become your priority so you’re a tad behind on your laundry

 

12. The night before the exam so you decide to eat healthy

Cookies are brain food right?

13. The best way to wake up, besides Starbucks, is a little exercise

Did you know 20 minutes of exercise before an exam can boost your scores? Try a free month trial with Crunch Live (best part is you don’t have to even leave your dorm room.)

14. Your professors are always there before the test to give you sound advice

 

15. Finals are finally over and summer vacation can begin

 

 

 

 

16. Time to figure out your summer plans with your best friends

 

 

17. But plane tickets, road trips, Disneyland, gas, and parking costs money

 

 

 

18. So you read Rich Bitch: A Simple 12-Step Plan for Getting Your Finanical Life Together…Finally

 

 

 

19. You realize with a little budgeting and saving you can have the best summer of your life

 

 

 

20. To spice things up on a beach trip with your friends you accessorize with Blink Tattoos

 

 

 

 

21. Your parents freak out when they see the posts on your Instagram but you tell them they are just temporary

 

 

 

22. You buy an Emergency Poncho to keep in your purse so you are always prepared

 

23. Nobody will be able to compete with you when pull out your water-proof pink poncho

 

 

 

Your hair will always be safe from unexpected rain or any water ride
