Finals Week- Fact vs. Myth

It's finals week, my first of many. In high school finals week was really the only week I actually did work. I remember hearing about finals week in college... sadly most of the horror stories are true, however not all of them. So here's a nice little list of the myths of finals week, and the facts. Enjoy (:

P.S. This post is meant to be funny, don't take it too seriously, but feel free to add onto the list in the comment section

WHAT YOU'VE HEARD: 

  • You'll have to pull all nighters

  • If you fail your final, you'll fail your class

  • 24/7 quiet hours

  • No one parties

  • The library is packed

  • People sleep in weird places, like in their cars, in the library, at starbucks, etc

  • You'll forget to eat due to studying

  • You have to study 24-7

  • You wake up feeling hungover because you studied so hard

  • Everyone looks like zombies

  • Most finals are not curved

  • There will be questions on the final about things you don't even remember learning

  • You have to make up for slacking the first half of the semester by getting a good grade on your final

  • It seems like everyone is on Adderall

  • Starbucks and other coffee shops will have extended hours

  • You'll spend more money on food and coffee than the rest of semester combined

  • You will find the most creative ways to procrastinate then you ever had in your entire life

  • Makeup is no longer existent for the female population

  • Almost everyone walks around in sweats or pajamas

  • You'll probably pretend to be productive and calculate how badly you can do on the test to pass the class

  • Panic.

  • You will get weird cramps from looking down at your notes, typing on your computer, or laying in strange positions to read your books

  • The final will be nothing like the midterm

  • Most of you will accept the fact that you will fail, and will then fall into a comfortable feeling of complete defeat

  • Netflix.

  • This week will probably be the first time you open your $500 textbook

MYTHS:

  • Sadly, these are all true. You basically will hate your life- you might as well know the truth so it won't be as much of a shock when it happens.

GOOD LUCK ON FINALS EVERYONE!
