EVERY professor who thinks they are ”doing you a favor” by having your final exam/paper the last day of class. 3/5 of my teachers do this. It makes the last three weeks of the semester awful.
-
Those professors who not only have you write a huge research paper, but you ALSO have a final exam. Oh, and a presentation. Because we have so much time on our hands.
-
In the Spring, it’s finally nice out and people are hanging outside on towels enjoying the sunshine, but NOT YOU!! Your classes have a terrible two weeks of finals and papers, so you’re stuck inside. (with severe FOMO)
-
You’re still making summer job/internship plans
-
Knowing that you will be able to count the hours of sleep you’ll be getting each week until summer on two hands.
-
The stress of packing up and cleaning your room on top of studying!
-
Snacks are running low. Ray is getting worse because they don’t order food anymore. Moral runs REALLY low.
-
Having to say goodbye to your friends one by one.
-
Being one of the last people on campus if you have the unlucky last final time on the Saturday.
-
The decisions of going out or studying, and usually choosing to go out and then regretting it the night before your test.
-
You’re stressed, your roommates are stressed, your friends are stressed, everyone is stressed and the whole school atmosphere changes- earlier and earlier.
-
The library and other study space become PACKED because people who never go there start using it.
-
Those people who save themselves a desk in the library the minute it goes 24 hours, but never seem to use the reserved desk.
-
You just keep looking forward to summer and seeing your friends from home and being in your house with your bed for a few months- and you lose even more motivation.
-
You have to study on top of your regular week’s schedule- and there is not enough time in the day to get it all done
-
At the end of the week, you’re relieved- but then remember it’s now finals week and you REALLY don’t have free time
