No one quite understands the heartlessness of finals like the Grinch.
1. The first day of reading period, you step into Tisch SO ready to nail all of your finals.
2. You start in the purple hallway with your roomie, thinking you’ll get tons of work done!!
3. Then, you notice all of your friends had the same idea, and it quickly turns into a frat party.
But you think you can manage it anyway because college is all about balancing school AND socializing, right?
4. That feeling quickly ends when you open your chem textbook and realize you haven’t actually retained anything this semester.
5. So, you give up all hope and decide you’ll take a zero.
Employers don’t really care about my GPA right!?
6. You remember they actually might. So, you move down to the loneliest, quietest, cubicle you can find in the basement, and buckle down.
7. After spending 8 straight hours in Tisch, you realize you need daylight, food, and/or friends.
8. You take a trip to Hodg to get dinner, but convince yourself you’ll definitely need study snacks instead.
So, you spend your meal swipe entirely on swedish fish, trail mix, and as many granola bars as Idah says you can still afford.
9. When you finally make it back to Tisch, you think you’re TOTALLY ready to get back in the zone. But then you end up scrolling through Yik Yak, Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat while eating all of your snacks.
Suddenly, you realize you’re 54 weeks into some stranger’s Instagram account. Oops.
10. But FINALLY you finish your last paper, and you realize you can have other emotions besides thinking!! (That’s a feeling right?)
At least it’s over.
