School Rules #4: Finals

Finals have concluded here at school and I am currently writing from the airport.  I had wanted to write this post during finals week but, alas, I am enrolled in 17 credit hours and apparently they expect you to study... who knew?!

So a review of what I noticed during the week in a "Mythbusters" format, enjoy:

1. You finals are significantly more important and harder than anyone else's.  And if they already took the class, the final got harder this year.  

Logically?  NOT TRUE. I can almost guarantee you that your Humanities I, crafts, and First Year Experience have nothing on Public Relations and Reporting for Public Media...and all those other science classes...
So knock it off and enjoy easy courses while it lasts (although that scarf you took all semester to knit looks fabulous)

2. The library is the only place on campus you can study and succeed.

Well that is just completely false.  It is the LOUDEST place you can possibly go to study during finals week.. It is basically party central up in there.
So no more complaining that you spent 48732 hours in the library all week and only got a C on your exam... think about it.

3. Finals = absurd amounts of caffeine.

THEY DON'T.  bam. myth busted. your mind has just been blown.  (because of that and all the caffeine you felt the need to consume.) I absolutely love laughing at people walk around campus with shaking hands, in a cold sweat, and blood shot eyes.  ok, so that also sounds like heroine abuse or the Black Plague, but I'm 99% it was all the caffeine intake.

And I think that speaks for itself...
 
4. And finally, why does everyone think finals is administered by the devil who doesn't want you to enjoy your last weekend at school?

Totally false, if you get creative and make your own fun, finals can be a breeze. Just check out these pics:


when finals get too hard, lay in a hammock and spend time with some friends
Happy Christmas Break, everyone!  And lets try to stay calm, prevent stereotypes, and drink water when it is time for finals in the Spring!
