The 5 Reactions Everyone Has to Finishing Exams

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

Congrats Warriors! We made it through another crazy term. You should be super proud of yourselves after finishing this round of exams. Here are some gifs that (probably) accurately depict your feelings after walking out of your last exam on your way to summer.

 

1. It’s finally over.

Your hand is cramping and your pen has smoke coming from the tip, but you gave it a look over and handed it to a proctor, knowing you gave your all on that exam.

 

2. ​Shock

 

Once you leave the exam room, you kinda don’t know what to do. It’s not like you have to go study for your next exam, because you just wrote your last one. This is the stage where you don’t really know what to do with yourself now that you’re done.

 

3. Doubt

When you meet up with your friends or message them to discuss your answers, you can feel some doubt when all of their answers are completely different from yours. This can start a cascade of wondering if you got anything right on the exam or not.

 

4. Acceptance

After the panic of worrying about getting questions wrong, you just have to accept the fact that the exam is over and done with and that you did your best. There’s nothing you can do now that it’s over, so you might as well accept it and move on.

 

5. Elation!

Once you’ve accepted the fact that you’re done, you can realize that you’re FREE! It’s finally the summer and you are done for the next four months. Take this time to recharge and relax before the Fall term comes around, because we all know that summers are never long enough.

 

Have a great summer!
