Finals Week as Told by “Saturday Night Live”

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

Suddenly classes are over and finals are upon us.

First, you realize how much work you have and begin to get overwhelmed. 

Then you realize that finals means it’s almost vacation.

So you decide that maybe you should get yourself together.

So you spend those last few nights going crazy with your friends.

Until you realize that exams are only days away.

But then, when it is all finally over you feel alive once again. 

Because in the end, you survived finals week.

And maybe finals made you feel a little crazy.

But now that they are over you can do what you really want to do…
