The semi-annual finals pep talk!

In the obvious reason of my post, avoiding my finals I'm giving you all the great chance of hearing the positive side of finals believe me they are good!

I know finals are already here and that today might make you dread the rest of the finals you have to come in the next 3 long and crucial days. But the most obvious reason of having finals is that once you are done, you never have to do that class again. No more Chem no more sociology and no more middlechildhood and early adolescence (my personal hate). No you aren't going to fail the class so stop telling yourself this, you'll do just fine. (Well maybe the way the teacher from hell grades you never know) Quit telling everyone that you are going to especially when the people in your class know you're going to throw off the whole curve. If you think about it finishing your final and handing it in is the perfect time for you to do something you normally wouldn't or couldn't have done. You could go up to your professor who you really weren't a fan of and dump your hot chocolate all over him and tell him how he was a douche bag for making you take that test the day after thanksgiving break. Can't do it? Then when you turn in the test say here's your answer key. Too weak in the knees still? If you're still too chicken shit to do that just say thanks professor I'm looking forward to your class in the spring. I personally would like to just kick my middle childhood professor in the junk and walk away but that might get me in jail...

The second best part of finals is that this is your time to finally ask out that guy or girl in your class that was the reason behind you going, not because of the awesome lectures. Go ask that person out what are they going to do? Say no, you're never possibly going to see them again, no harm no foul. Take them out for a finals break drink or something sweet like that. And if all fails and she says no you've got all Christmas break to feel like a dumb ass.

In desperate times, calls for desperate measures. A way to help with you anxiety and sleep deprivation is a chemical boost. Some are better than others. Even I have resorted back to the good old days of drinking my pop and enjoying my caffeine boost for that hour and a half. My monster energy drink seems to be working the best this year. That red bull is going to do you a hell of good if you can't stay awake to study your boring crap. Many say stay away from the alcohol this week but I say why not go for it. This quite possibly could lead to the other form of stress reliever, sexual activity. But don't go too overboard with this one it could cause many problems down the road. Hey maybe it could even be with that cute person from the class mentioned above.

Finally you can really take the challenge intellectually on finals week. Sure you haven't been to class since the first week and you got at D on your midterms....I don't care. You can learn the entire course with 3 dews and a full 24 hour cram before the test. Just think about this one, remember when you were a freshman and thought you had to go to every class. All the test prep you did was definitely less than 24 hours per class. That means for the rest of the time you did jack shit. So if you really are stuck in this situation you've got time. You can do it, but it might help if you have the notes from someone so you have some sort of idea.

So that's it guys remember study with a buddy if you can then, if they are a hot buddy you can go relieve some of your other stresses. Just kidding I don't promote that kind of stuff. I just wrote this since my hand hurt from writing my stupid definitions. Remember Ben and jerry can be you best friend as well as chocolate. Sleep is always a good thing to but remember to set your alarm that would suck!


With all this being said enjoy the worst week of the semester, you'll make it through like the rest of us. Enjoy your break it's less than a week away!
