Let's Talk Finals

Today marks the start of finals for 95% of college students. In my opinion the semester should have been down two weeks ago when we left for Thanksgiving break. I mean seriously who left for a four day weekend and was prepared to learn for two more weeks and then take six tests? Not me that's who! And did we even get taught anything in the last two weeks, because I sure didn't learn anything that's for sure. So to commiserate with all my fellow college students here is how I feel about finals weeks in memes. 

Let's face it I spent the weekend doing anything but actually getting anything productive done. I cleaned the toilet and shower for Christ's sake. And trust me I'm not the only one, you know who you are!

But if you have been studying like a good little college student I'm sure your brain feels like mush. Mine does and I spent over half the weekend procrastinating. We've been forcing unwanted and uninteresting information in our brains for three and a half months come on professors give us a break! Remember when the last day of classes were reserved for parties and movies? Yeah I miss middle school too, even if we all looked gross.

Sleep isn't a thing during finals weeks. You have the all-nighters who stay awake finishing all the work they didn't get done earlier. Or the parties who just don't care. And then you have my subcategory the restless sleeper, I'm not actually nervous for my speech final but let me have a nightmare about it and get a horrible night sleep. Because that'll make me do better on my finals. Good plan body, way to betray me now!

Why didn't we go to that stupid speaker worth ten points of extra credit??? I mean we could get ten more questions wrong and our grade wouldn't suffer! But next time it's offered we won't go because we don't think we'll ever be in this position come the end of the semester. We're always wrong.

Even if you study your heart out the chances of studying the correct material is slim to none. The professor says the test is based solely on the class lectures, turns out it's all based on the chapters in the text book propping up your dresser. Ever look at a test and think, "What does that even mean?" Don't worry you're not the only one.

Here's to passing grades to you all! 
Then sleeping all winter break and coming back for more!
