That time of year is here! The time of year that the general population feels cheery and bright, but the remaining part of the population is coping with dead week that inevitably leads to finals. In essence, these two weeks become an entire blur, so here’s a relatable glimpse to remind you that misery loves company.
When you decide that you deserve a break after a stellar intro to your eight page paper.
Soon after treating yo self, you accidentally realize that your weekend expectations versus reality, ended in no studying getting accomplished.
Before your eyes, dead week has arrived again to teach you more lessons about your resiliency than you ever learned in class throughout the semester.
It seems like the approach of avoiding that project that a professor mentioned to start the first week of school came back to haunt you, so you pretend it isn’t happening.
Alongside that, another project comes along that you don’t really have the time or energy to fully invest, so your strategy is to use big words to hopefully fulfill the requirements the best you can, as quickly as you can.
Soon, you can’t remember if you decided to have food or caffeine for your next meal.
After figuring out your meal itinerary, you head off to class, sit down and your professor looks at you and says, “wow, you look as tired as I’m going to look after grading all of the thirty page projects for this class…”
Or that moment when someone decides to ask what you like to do in your free time, in the midst of three presentations, four papers, and two discussion threads left unanswered.
Or sending an email and realizing you sent the wrong file, then owning up to sending the wrong file, and then forgetting the corrected attachment you were supposed to sent.
On the bright side, with how busy the next couple weeks are they should fly by so you are able to focus on the things that really matter.
