By some complete miracle, your exam is way easier than you expected | In the middle of the night, cries of anguish from the dorm windows | Somebody clearing the layers of dust off the textbook that haven’t used all semester | A poor, desperate soul, crying out for a spare scantron | Devising various ways to break your writing hand so you can avoid your finals |
Somebody drops a huge stack of notecards all over the floor | Drinking absurd amounts of coffee in the hope that your bladder will explode | The inevitable arrival of someone who comes to the 7 AM final in pajamas | Seeing people you haven’t seen all semester come to class for the first time ever for the final | Non-religious students praying for better exam grades |
Discovering new levels of distraction that you thought weren’t humanly possible | Looking to the syllabus over & over again because you’re not 100% sure where your final will actually be | Being stressed (FREE SPACE) |
Eating an entire thing of ice cream to celebrate how well that final went | Eating an entire thing of ice cream and crying about how poorly that final went |
The collective groan when your professor says that the final is cumulative | A frat dude with the uncanny ability to listen to EDM and study Big Discrete simultaneously | Trying not to worry about the one final that will lock you out of your major if you fail | A swarm of new converts around the campus Hindu monks hoping to channel the power of Krishna for the upcoming Orgo final | The person who takes one for the team and dies so everyone can get an A |
Becoming an ordained minister in the wee hours of the morning instead of sleeping | Groups of students in the business building, stressfully studying in groups | The one person in the cafe who is evidently stressed yet well dressed | Emailing your professor and asking if you can sell your soul to them for extra credit | Someone in the library giving you the death stare because your chair squeaked when you sat down |
