    Finals coming up

    Its that time of year again, shares for coffee, energy drinks, instant noodles, pencils and paper rise skyhigh.
    Students from all over the world are nail biting, crying, angry, jumping of bridges, ...
    Yes, you guessed it, finals are coming up!

    My question to you, what are you doing to get trough this dreadfull time of year?
    When do your finals start, when are they over?
    How's your schedule? What exam are you fearing the most?

    And even better, how do you plan to celebrate the end of the finals?

    Wait until your working, trying to get things done, dealing with people who just want to ruin everything for everybody.
    Get to rush all the time, skip food, skip sleep and there is no end to it.

    Wow you do your exams late, here in france we've been done for about a month, and I got my results last week.

    Only one subject I could have done better on, but no biggie since i passed with flying colors and finished top of my promo.

    Are you in high school? Many k-12 schools go very 'late'. Or maybe quarters for a particular uni. Anyway, I took my finals on May 1st, graduated (university) on the 4th. Celebrated with family and I'm moving this Tuesday. Time to be an adult I guess! Took a WW2 history and an Ancient Near Eastern Art history course. Got Bs on both. Yes I only needed 2 more classes to gtfo of uni. So glad it's over.

    Interesting, summer vacation around here starts in early june and ends in mid to late august. For us uni students it's usually a bit longer than that, we don't really have a "finals week", though most stuff ends in late april to mid may, and most courses start again in early september.

    If only I could take you 10-15 years into your future, and you could see how stressing over these finals is crazy. Enjoy your time in uni - it will really be missed.

    Opps i didn't notice - but Drwelfare pretty much sums up my point.

    I know, university is awesome! But since I'm terrible at learning finals can burn in hell (not that I'm stupid, I'm better in research and processing information then simply learning information out of the top of my head)

    For college students, depending on the campus, its from mid june to mid september

    Done with exams few weeks ago. The university had the brilliant idea of scheduling all of our exams in the first week.

    There's not really finals on my university. A few tests in 6 weeks from now (late, uh), but those are really easy. So my preperation will be like this: be on time at the uni and make the tests. My holiday is from 7th of july to 1st of september.

    What's with all that fear of finals ? I always thought it was the best period of the year. Interesting problems to solve in a quiet atmosphere and that kind of things.

    I kinda miss them.

    I was lucky during finals, my last day of them had 2, the hardest was in the morning and the total writeoff waste of time final was at like 4pm. 10AM until about 3PM involved getting shit faced at the campus bar then stumbling to the final exam.

    Yay finals!
