Nothing beats the feeling of turning in your final exam, walking out of the room, and experiencing that overwhelming sense of relief that your semester has come to a close. I think everyone can relate, doesn't matter if you were in college 2 years ago or 20 years ago. Finals week often exudes constant studying, an alarming amount of caffeine, and little to no sleep. So, no matter what, even if your last test wasn't something to be proud of, you can at least look forward to a mental rest and time ahead to spend with your friends or family.
Even more bittersweet was the fact that I only have 1 more set of finals to go through in my undergraduate career and even though I just noted the stress levels and zombie like atmosphere that characterizes a college campus during the week it is actually something I look forward to. Everyone is in the same mindset: study, coffee break, study, dinner break, study, coffee break and it is somewhat enjoyable to see people really get down to business and take school seriously rather than being the lone person mid semester who is worried about a test they have the next day while your friends are out celebrating Taco Tuesday at the nearest Mexican cantina.
Finals week, I really love it...
Love from my desk at work where I can finally sit back, relax, and take some phone calls to sell tickets to some more games (our record is improving by the way),
Katie
