The Final Word On Finals

The end of the semester is upon us, and college students everywhere are crying about finals. For me, this time is a time of celebration. You get almost a whole week off and all that is in between you and summer is a couple of tests. So don't waste your time posting those dumb facebook statuses telling everybody how many finals you have and how you can't wait for them to be over with. How about you spend that time studying so you don't have to pull an all-nighter? But then you wouldn't get to brag to everybody who will listen to you about how you've been awake for the last 84 hours and how you've finished an entire pallet of redbulls. So nevermind. Do you learn anything at 4 a.m. all hopped up on caffeine? Probably Not. Is that extra study time going to completely change your final grade? I don't think so. Do I like asking a bunch of questions in a row like this? Absolutely.

Here's my point. Most final exams are worth around 20% of your final grade. If you're making around an 80, you can make around a 30 on the final and still pass the class. Making a 30 is like filling in the letter C straight down your scantron. Some people might point out that this technique would hurt your G.P.A. This is very true, but who cares about G.P.A. These are the only reasons you would need a good G.P.A: you are trying to transfer into a school/program, you have to make a certain G.P.A. to keep a scholarship, or you could potentially make it onto the Dean's list or something important like that. I don't think my future employer will care what grade I made in Physics, and I'm sure everyone else out there has to take classes they will never use in real life. The only reason I can think of using physics is to calculate the angular velocity I need to kick my leg in order roundhouse the creator of the saying "FML" in the face.

So students out there, don't freak out. Study hard for the important/difficult finals and don't fret about the rest. Don't waste your life pulling all-nighters and complaining about tests, because in the end it isn't worth it. Especially don't blow off the entire semester and whine about how you have to make a 100 to pass. No one feels bad for you.

Side Note

I would like to take this opportunity to share how much I hate the saying "FML." It is possibly the most retarded fad saying since the extremely overused,"Epic." First of all, what does "F*** my life" mean? Not only is it vulgar, but it is also nonsensical. Double Whammy! Also, anybody who has the slightest inconvenience in their life feels the need to slap FML to the end of their whining. "OMG I spilled my 32 oz. Monster on my Affliction shirt and Ed Hardy jeans. FML!" Spreading this saying into every college students' vocabulary wasn't enough, now there's an entire site devoted to FML at the aptly named FMyLife.com. At FMyLife.com, morons all around the world share their idiotic, and often fabricated stories, about embarrassing moments in their life. If these moments are so embarrassing, why are you bragging about them? So please people, enough with FML. No one cares and you just end up sounding stupid.
