On Finals

Its what's on every college kid's mind at this time.... Even the ones that don't have finals this upcoming week are thinking about it, because those of us that do are reminding them how easy and lucky their life is.

I didn't think finals were so bad in high school. I thought college kids exaggerated just to get pity. I would talk to my college friends on facebook, or in person when I ran into them and when you give the polite greeting, "Hi, how are ya?" The would always respond something along the lines of, "MY LIFE STINKS!! I have three hundred tests to take this week and they're all comprehensive and my teacher hates me and no matter how hard I study I'll never get an A so what's the point I give up and I'm dropping out of college and moving to California to be a street musician."

But then I got finals. And now I understand.

I have five finals and two final projects to get done before Saturday. Plus I had a research paper due this week and two final projects. I've already pulled one all-nighter and half of another all-nighter this week. And I was working on getting an online test out of the way today when the online system decided to take the day off. Blackboard is down until 10 later this morning. So instead of studying and taking a test, which I've been studying all afternoon for, I'm writing a blog post.

However, now that I have a legit reason not to be productive, I think I'll go to bed relatively early compared to all the other late nights I've pulled this week.
