FINALS 101, as told by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler

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

When you beg your professor to make they final open note, but the still say no.

Personal hygiene takes the back burner after a few all nighters and your friends get worried.

When someone asks you why you slept through Reading Day.

Your classmate tells you they finished the final 10 page paper over Thanksgiving break that you have yet to start. 

After the teacher hands out the final study guide, you fill out your course eval in complete spite.

Your parents call and ask how finals are going.

And then they try to tell you that you’ll do great.

It’s 4 am, you can’t remember the last time you slept, and you’re on the verge of a mental breakdown in the lib with your bestie, which is way better than being alone.

And just like that they’re over, and by the grace of God, we made it out alive.
