Finals week has come again. As high school students on a trimester schedule, there are three times a year that we all feel so overwhelmed with school that our stress levels are at a dangerous high. We all lock ourselves in the house, pull all-nighters, and try to learn chapters of material in one night. Not that we are all exactly alike. Some are stress eaters while other s turn anorexic. Some exercise, socialize, and work while others completely shut down every part of their lives besides school. Some study while others just try to finish up late work and final projects. In the end though, all high schoolers are at the same minimal level of tolerance at the same time.
Many teachers also do not announce final projects until that last weekend before finals. No room to have plans or actually study when you are trying to pull together last second speeches and portfolios. Not that is totally our teachers fault for the all-night cramming; we students do love to procrastinate. Yes, I know I have known what my final is going to be all trimester for German, but in the beginning of the trimester you don’t really think that a class can go by so fast.
Nevertheless, time for some sweatpants and 1am flashcard runs. Thankgoodness I live near a Wal-Mart.
Sincerely Sydney
