26 Stages of Finals Week

This one goes out to finals week; the worst week of all. 

1) You realize finals are in two weeks and figure that will be plenty of time to study.

2) You have also realized that your participation grade will not be enough to get you that A in class.

3) You have plenty of time so you go home and avoid studying for a few days.

4) Next thing you know finals are a week away.

5) You start to panic.

6) You realize you don’t remember anything you learned and will have to re-teach yourself.

7) You are so stressed out you take to social media to complain about it.

8) Social media turns into three hours on Pinterest learning about every DIY craft there is.

9) Which then brings you to this article furthering your procrastination (gotcha ya). 

10) But then you get motivated all of a sudden and get into a groove.

11) There is more coffee than blood in your system at this point.

12) Now you have also stopped sleeping.

13) You have studied so long you don’t even comprehend what you are reading anymore.

14) Lets not forget that all the printers in the library will conveniently jam when you need to print out your final paper due in ten minutes (plan accordingly). 

15) At this point you have considered becoming stripper and/or cocktail waitress. 

16) One of your “friends” mention they only have one final, because that’s exactly what you want to hear. 

17) This is a library folks, not a bar. Pipe down!

18) You have now stopped studying because of a false sense of confidence and find yourself at happy hour with the girls.

19) You walk into class and the confidence immediately goes away.

20) Now that you have read the test, you are pretty sure that you studied all the wrong material.

21) You are convinced your professor is out to get you.

22) Then you finally turn in your test after two grueling hours.

23) You are pretty sure you failed.

24) But you also feel like this.

25) Until that one nosey kid tells you how easy they thought the test was.

26) But it’s okay because you lived through finals week and now it’s time to party.
