stop complaining about finals. it’s annoying because a) everyone within four years of your age is experiencing the same thing and b) we get it. we know. finals suck.
oh ho ho, you’re absolutely right. i am certainly guilty of the nefarious finals complaints and probably the most guilty, because i am actually a complaining professional. in fact, i could probably put “professional complainer” on my resume, because i am that qualified, but i digress. my main point here today is to argue a different perspective on finals.
finals are awesome!
you know why? i’ll tell you why.
finals give you an opportunity to salvage that paper you bombed or the test you didn’t know you had to take.
finals force you to explore new places to study instead of the boring old library.
finals create study parties. regardless of whether they are a success or failure, you don’t forget the memories you make. things get weird at 4 am.
finals cultivate sympathy. the kind of sympathy that gives you free blue books, pencils, and pens from the honor committee. the kind of sympathy that gives you free food delivered at midnight. the kind of sympathy that elicits a tired, understanding smile from the stranger across the study table.
and finally, finals are just that. final. they signify the end of a long, hard semester. all of your hard work (or maybe lack thereof) culminates into this huge series of events that signifies the close of a chapter to remind us that there’s something waiting and something new just beyond the horizon.
good luck on finals, y’all.
