Finals Week Told by America’s Got Talent
Posted April 5, 2018
Unfortunately, the time is approaching every college student dreads...finals week! It is the worst, yet best time, because vacation is just around the corner. Everyone has their own way of coping with stress. Some handle it well. Others tend to have the following experience, as told by NBC’s America’s Got Talent.
1. You look at the review sheet and wonder where to even start.
2. You realize the final is cumulative, and you do not remember anything from before spring break.
3. On review day, you ask a million questions to make sure you know EVERYTHING that will be on the final.
4. Studying seems impossible, and your first of many breakdowns begin.
5. You give yourself a pep talk that you can, in fact, make it through just a few more days.
6. You come up with any excuse to get out of taking the final.
7. You finally have the exam in hand, and realize there is material that the professor did not tell you about.
8. You turn in your final project or exam, and know it was the best work you have ever done.
9. At last, you receive your final grades and thank the universe you were able to pass yet another semester.
