7 Reasons Why Finals Week Isn’t That Bad

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

Every college student knows the stress and anxiety that all piles during finals week. Students realize the true meaning of multitasking and regret any prior procrastination as they study for more than one test at a time. However, there are several pros about finals week:

1. Attire

Final’s week means no makeup and not having to worry about looking cute! So go ahead, roll out of bed, throw on that hoodie with those running shorts paired with your favorite flip flops and ACE that exam!

2. Farewell Professor

We all experience that one professor who we feel makes our brain hurt unapologetically. Well, since it’s final’s week, you can now saw goodbye and good riddance to the exams they took FOREVER to grade, the super cold classroom, AND the unnecessary 8-paged papers on topics that served no relevance to your major!

3. One Step Closer to Graduating

This is perhaps the most significant reason why final’s week isn’t that bad. Just think of it like this: when you’re putting in work at your 4AM study session and you think you can longer store any more information in your brain, realize this is a stepping stone of being one semester closer to graduating! That’s why we came to college, to graduate, right? :)

4. Dead Day

Fortunately, VSU knows how hectic and overwhelming final’s week is. Therefore, they provide a dead day in which students can take the day off, dedicating it to studying for courses or collecting his or self for the busy week ahead. Whether you divert your attention to your studies or spend this day recovering from the night before, we can all agree that Dead Day is pretty clutch!

5. Midnight Breakfast

What college student doesn’t appreciate FREE food?! Midnight Breakfast is open to all VSU students with a valid VSU ID on Dead Day. Grab a muffin (or three) so your brain will be well-nourished for your exams!

6. Cha-Ching!

Final’s week means the bookstore and other resources are buying those books back you paid a grip for earlier in the semester, which means you can finally get that tattoo or use this change as gas money to go home with! Be sure to carefully shop around for the best buyer so you can get the best deal for your books!

7. Celebratory Dance

We all know the great sigh of relief we feel when final’s week is all over (similar to the feeling we get when there’s no parking ticket on our car after parking in 45-min parking spots!). This means you can finally reunite with your friends or family and celebrate that final’s week is FINALLY over! Good luck!
