I don't have any dramatic stories about finals. I managed to take all my finals on time and, for the most part, did pretty well on them.
I did, however, have a bit of a scare when it came to my Adolescent Development class. I was taking the class my last semester of school. In lieu of an exam, my professor had us write a 20 or so page paper on any topic relating to adolescence. Usually, I was so on the ball when it came to writing papers. I was always starting them fairly early on and giving myself plenty of time to complete them before the due date. I didn't do this because I was an exceptional student, but rather a worry wart.
For some reason, I put off my adolescent paper to the last minute. And, by last minute I mean I only had a week to complete it. I was so freaked out about it, but I decided I would live in the library until it was done. Everyday, after class, I made my way to the library and spent at least 8 hours there researching and writing my paper.
By the time the paper was due, I wasn't thrilled with it. I felt like I could've done better. But, I couldn't do anything about it, so I turned it in and called it good.
Looking back, I'm glad I procrastinated my paper (and the only reason I can say is because I got an A). Part of the college experience is staying up all night and cramming for exams or freaking about finals, right?
I wrote a 20-page paper in one night. And got an A- on it. All I could think was that if I had only started it one day sooner, I might have gotten an A.
ReplyDeleteI practically lived on Dr. Pepper and Mt. Dew that semester.
And yes. That IS part of the college experience!
ReplyDeleteI always procrastinated papers. ALWAYS. And a week would've been way early for me to start a paper. I once wrote a 15 page paper about antibiotics and domestic animals in two days, research included. I got an A on it. But only because I know how to "play the game", not because I'm really smart.
ReplyDeleteI had a final in a music class where I had to write a song. And then perform it. It was absolutely and utterly terrifying. TERRIFYING.
And I once had an Econ 200 class that I never went to. I knew I was doing terrible in it so I just didn't go to the final. Yeah. I got an F in that class.
Talk about confessions...
Banned complain !! Complaining only causes life and mind become more severe. Enjoy the rhythm of the problems faced. No matter ga life, not a problem not learn, so enjoy it :)
