It's That Time of Year Again

Finals week is next week, and I think my brain is ready to explode. Usually there's a dead week before finals, but not this semester. I have a final this week and a huge presentation on Wednesday. It's stressful and makes me want to pull my hair out. We all know the feeling, right?

Since I'm about to be a senior in college, my finals continue to get harder and harder. It's only natural, and it's fine with me, but it means more work, more studying, and a lot of long nights. For the next few weeks, I will not know what sleep is until I hand in my last portfolio. Every college kid goes through it in one way or another. It's the final push that stresses all of us out.

Last semester I talked about being super stressed out during finals, and I find myself giving the same speech again. Luckily, my workload isn't as compact as last semester and is more spread out, so I have more time to do things. However, even with things like that, I still stress myself out worrying about getting stuff done in time. Especially because I'm aiming for all A's again in my classes. If I work hard enough, I can make it. It all depends on one or two projects. And let me tell you guys, that sucks.

Until my transcript comes out and I get my grades, I will be stressed out to the max about how I did. I know I'm not the only one who is like this either.

For some of my friends, they're graduating and are excited to get their grades for the last time, because it finalizes their exit from college. For me, it means I've done good and I have one less semester to worry about before I leave college.

It's stressful, especially when you try to keep your GPA up as high as you can. There is NOTHING easy about getting A's in college, and it makes you slightly lose your mind. The Spongebob meme at the beginning of this post says and tells all. It's finals week, so it's time to lose your mind and hear things. While some of it is just a joke, most of it is true. Finals week will cause major sleep deprivation, lack of motivation, deadlines galore, no time, and no sanity. It is a wondrously horrible week.

There's a plus side to this though! Once finals are over, summer begins. While I will be working, it is still a nice break, where I can relax, take trips, and work on things I've put off for school. Because I have so much to look forward to during summer, I know the light at the end of the tunnel is there. It'll suck getting there, but once I am, it'll be worth it.

I apologize for the shortness of this post, but I really got to get back to working on school work. I just needed a small break, and hey! Here we are. Tell me what y'all think about finals and how y'all get through it!
