As if our life around this time of year isn't stressful enough with the weather(in some areas) and Christmas shopping and such we have finals. Okay first i hate you finals and i hate teachers that give them if your a teacher I'm sorry but i hate finals. I mean whats the point really. A big test to see if we learned and remember everything ever taught to us in one semester. First of some people hate test(me) and most of those people in turn do bad on big test(not me). Some people may be cruddy test takers but it by no means that they have no knowledge/understanding of the text and material. All finals do is stress us student out and some times it stresses some students out more then they already all, makes them lose sleep, and cause them to stay up for hours or spend time away from friends studying for a final. Lets get one thing straight if i didn't get what you taught 12 weeks ago what in the heck makes you think im gonna now the freaking material now 12 weeks after the fact and after ive learned new things. Lucky for me the only finals i have to really study for are Bio and Spanish but for the poor souls who are stressed about most or all of there finals may who ever you believe in have mercy on you, and good luck.
Christmas my favorite time of the year... when im not putting dents into my wallet and bank accounts or rushing out to buy those perfect or last minute gifts and returning gifts i hate or that someone already got for the person i bought it for. I would also enjoy it more if i didn't have to brave the cold, snow, and ice just to go get gifts and to visit family, I would also like it more if the week and a half to 2 weeks before it i wasn't stressed about finals then passing my finals then having to rush out to the store after i pass just to get a gift.
This time of year is happy one but before the 24-25 its filled with stress and people asking questions like why did it have to snow today? Why do you have to want the new ipod or that new best seller book? and the biggest question WHY IN THE HECK DO WE HAVE TO HAVE FINALS AND A WEEK OR SO BEFORE CHRISTMAS?
Christmas is a time of love, joy, happiness, giving and caring. So if you schools want to know how you can follow and share this spirit CANCEL FINALS or atleast move them until after Christmas break.
