5 Finals Moments Every Student Knows to be True

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

Finals are almost here.  We’ve started studying, started final papers and met with group project members (or at least that’s what we’ve told our parents).  We’ve thought about how high we must score (or how low we can score to maintain our GPA).  But there are some moments that we just can’t avoid.  

1. When the professor said this wouldn’t be on the test BUT it is.

Yeah, thanks professor.  I needed something else to worry about.

2. Realizing finals are almost here 

Two.  More. Weeks.  Cue internal breakdown and heavy breathing.

3. So you’re in the library studying.

Or trying to.  You know what your friends are putting on Facebook is way more entertaining than ethics or math or whatever you’re actually supposed to be reading.

4. You get a little fatalist. 

You think, “I’m going to fail! This is the end!  I’m going to drop out and be a beach bum for the rest of my life.”  Obviously that won’t actually happen but it helps to get a little dramatic and irrational when things get hectic.

5. But somehow you pull through.

You make the grades you need and turn everything in on time (even though you’re running on two hours of sleep and six cups of coffee).  You’re done!  You’ve made it!  The final countdown is over and now summer is right around the corner! #BlessUp
