Final-ly done

Excuse the bad pun, but being that I'm done with finals as of yesterday, I feel okay using it. Finals is such an overstressed time. It's not even that the papers we have to write and tests we have to take are much more difficult than anything we've had all semester, it's just the fact that they are all happening at the same time. It's really not planned well. Maybe it's supposed to teach you how to juggle multiple crises at the same time. It's such a weird emotional time where you are standing on the edge of summer but you just need to tackle this one last monstrous obstacle before you can get to it. Well, I've tackled the monster and, with any luck, I did fairly well in my classes. It's disheartening that with all of the things I supposedly accomplish, I never feel like I've done anything. It just seems like I'm passing the time taking classes. Maybe it's because I've been in college for almost a third of my life now and it's hard to imagine it as a path to anywhere because it has been my reality for so long. I should be graduating this time next year. I just hope I can do something after I graduate..
