Things I Like About Finals Week

• it is socially acceptable and in fact encouraged to look like a bum in sweatpants
• lots of naps! also the gym is emptier.
• common suffering brings people closer.

Things I Am Indifferent About During Finals Week

• my own finals. one exam a day for Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday. I went to class, I’ve done the reading, I took notes. I’ll study some and I’ll be fine.

Things I Hate About Finals Week

• everyone else goes absolutely insane. there is an unstated competition over who can stay in the library the longest, or who can go without sleep (although why you’re pulling an all-nighter to simply study three days before the exam is beyond me…). there is this mindset of “who can torture themselves the most,” a competition I see no motivation to win. I get it. You have finals and papers. Don’t act surprised, you knew they were coming—the syllabus listed them on the very first day. Quit your bitchin’ and get your shit in order.
• the social life moves from the Keg or Hundo to the library. I hate the library. it’s scary and confusing and way too quiet for me.
• packing. I haven’t started yet. I’ll get there.

Am I missing anything?
