EEK! Finals- What type of college student are you?
Shivers, bites nails, anxiously looks around the room; does this sound like you? Yes, it’s that time of the year, the time that everyone dreads, FINALS. You saw it coming, but it definitely slapped you across the face when it said, “Guess whose here, bitch!?” with a wide grimace. But have no fear! Procrastination always works out great, i mean after all, that’s why you’re on here.
Anyways, lets cut to the chase, which college student are you right now?
THE SLEEPER: This is the student that really just doesn’t give a damn about finals. Most likely this student doesn’t go to sleep until 3 AM- probably because they’re playing MW3 with their friends online- and then wakes up at 2 PM. This idea is slightly unorthodox- in my opinion- however you’re stress free, so at least you’re doing something right.
THE OVERACHIEVER: This is the student that was studying a whole WEEK, maybe even more before final’s even started. Crazy, huh? And we all thought that it wasn’t possible to achieve this, what with all the last minute presentations, exams, and lectures our professors kept cramming down our throat. But to those of you who do this, I salute you, and hopefully you will provide some good role modeling to the rest of the college students. And hey for all of you other students laughing at the overachiever- he/she is getting an ‘A’, remember that.
THE PROCRASTINATOR: This student from the outside actually seems pretty dedicated on getting a good grade, their intentions are fine it’s their actions that are a little out of wack. These are the students that will do everything possible to avoid studying, but they don’t do it intentionally, most of them will tell you “It just kind of happened; one minute I was reviewing notes for psychology and the next minute i knew i was watching Raywilliamjohnson on youtube.” You started out great, and then the internet distracted you.
THE CRAMMER: This is the student that acts as if they had no idea that finals were around the corner; almost as if they had been in this deep dorm-ernation and just woke up to discover that they had a final in less than 24 hours. Now don’t let this student confuse you with the procrastinator, the procrastinator actually puts forth effort to try, the crammer is the one who studies 2 hours before the exam and then walks into the exam room without a pen/pencil because he/she was so busy trying to cram 5 months of material into their brain. So next time someone calls out before taking a test, “Does anyone have a pencil I can borrow”, remember that he/she was just cramming, and had a stressful 2 hours of studying.
Any of these sound like you or your friends? Feel free to comment below.
And as for me, I’d be the typical Procrastinator - sorry, I am a statistic-, in fact that’s how this blog came about in the first place.
