This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UIC chapter and does not reflect the views of Her Campus.

You have now finished finals, and you’re free from school, but now you have to wait in anticipation for your grades. 

1. How did I do?

Did the amount of hours I spend studying for that class reflect my possible grade? Could I have tried harder? 

2. Should I check online for my grades?

It’s like checking the Christmas tree for presents and not knowing what to expect. 

3. My grades are up!

Do I want to look? Do I want my happiness to die? 

4. I expected that.

I’m just good at everything. 

5. I did not expect that… 

*Starts blaming the professor, work load, and Obama*

6. My poor GPA

It doesn’t deserve this type of treatment. It should not have to go through that.

On a daily basis, she can be found making excessive film references and getting overly emotional about superhero TV shows. She has a deep passion for writing, movies, music, good books, and great food, and will gladly talk your ear off about all of the above if prompted to do so.
