5 Thoughts Every College Student Has About Taking Finals

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

Finals. It’s finally crunch time and unfortunately that does not involve any chips! It is the time of year when the library is packed, and everyone has a coffee in one hand and a textbook in another. The lead up to finals may seem hectic, but just remember: Christmas break is around the corner #blessed. Here are some thoughts that many of us are guilty of when finals come along:

1. The finish line is so close, yet still so far! Although it may seem like it’s taking forever, everything that has a starting point always has a finish line.  

2. Procrastination with some Netflix and chilling seems like a good idea at first, but it definitely does not help matters.

3. That feeling when you realize that you have been studying for three hours and the information still does not make ~any~ sense.

4. Unfortunately, finals are only one week away, and it is time to start ~hittin’ the books~. Even when we are tempted to hang with friends, what would Taylor Swift say in this situation?

5. Hooray! This article just stated everything you were thinking, but now you realized your study break is over, and it’s time to go back to ~work~.

 

          

 

Good luck and happy studying everyone!
