Student thoughts: Finals are the pits

Let's talk about finals. We all hate them, we all endure them and eventually, we all survive them. As told by The Office and Parks and Recreation, I bring you "final thoughts." Just remember, fake it until you make it. 


The unfortunate feeling of the end of the semester, knowing it's time for finals. 

Leslie Knope


 Going out the weekend before knowing you should be home studying.

I am running away from my responsibilities and it feels good


 When you study for 5 minutes:

Guys, I'm like really smart now. You don't even know.


Going to the exam in a caffeine hangover, lack of sleep and an emotional state, but it's fine.

Everything hurts and I'm dying


 When you finish your group project and realize you won't ever have to work together again.

Ron Swanson


Realizing the night before that you're doomed no matter how much you study.  

It's just that life is pointless and nothing matters and I'm always tired. 


 When you look up from the exam and make accidental eye contact with the professor.

I'll I can do right now is put on a brave face


 Getting the exam: I'm going to do GREAT!

  • First question: I think I'll come back to this later.
  • Second question: I'll just skip this for now.
  • Third question: Welp. I'm doomed.

Thinking you know the answer to the multiple choice question but it's not an option.

Dwight Shrute


 Trying to answer 40 multiple choice questions, 10 short answers and 3 essay questions in 2 hours. 

Me think, why waste time say lot word, when few word do trick.


 Turning in the exam knowing you gave it your best effort.

 I'm dead


 When you still have three finals left. 

I just want it to stop.


 A classmate asking how you did, right after you turn in the exam. 

I may never smile again


 Planning your post-exam pampering. You've earned it.

 Treat yo self


 The day after finals be like: 

It's the best day of the year
