You did it, folks! You finished finals week!
With that major accomplishment comes an assortment of emotions, depending on the individual. Check out the gifs below to see which one best described your mood when you finally reached the finish line.
1. Massive relief
That’s it, breathe out…
2. Cool confidence
“Yeah, I pretty much nailed that one!”
3. Uncertainty
When everyone asks you how you did and you have no idea…
4. A sense of doom
Because someone mentioned there was a back side you didn’t see…
5. Impatience
When you’re refreshing Blackboard every 5 minutes to see if your teacher has posted your grade yet…
6. Pleasant surprise
“That was a lot easier than I thought it would be!”
7. Or the exact opposite
“No one mentioned that would be on there!”
8. Inability to self-regulate your emotions
Whether it’s from the lack of sleep or the combustion of euphoria, guilt, and sadness over the semester being done…
9. Giddy excitement
Praise Jesus, you’re done!
