meditations on finals week&college so far.

hm. third post in a day. that can't be healthy.

but then again. you have to account for me packing for the trip of death to utah.

alas. winter quarter has snuck up behind me, grabbed my hair, and yanked a few strands out.


it only seems like two weeks ago when my last final was done.

well. it was.


so here are some conclusions.

  • no matter how hardcore you think high school finals are, college finals will PWN your ass.
  • everything is open 24 hours including starbucks on campus. THANK YOU.
  • 24 hour quiet hours are also enforced.
  • study groups are bomb.
  • no matter how much you cram for bio, you're still effed.
  • there is no definite way to study for humanities core. NONE.
  • walking to starbucks at 2 in the morning with suitemate = LOVE
  • tea time with the future roomies are a must, even if it was in spirit.
  • spiral bound notebooks for recopying lecture notes FTW.
  • parents call less often because they think you're studying. i was actually napping thank you very much.
  • my day: 11:00AM get up; 11:45AM go eat breakfast; 12:00PM-5:00PM frolick/run errands/study sessions; 5:00PM-4:00 AM study and then sleep
  • the only good thing i liked about the bio department was that scantrons are provided!!
  • stop staring at the book. knowledge doesn't work through osmosis.
  • finals late nights at pippins are LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE. the two nights i went amassed in: chili dogs + a cup of cappuccino + a cup of coffee = a MASSIVE CRAMP; build your own nachos!!
  • in quiet ass irvine..hella people walking around at 4 in the damn morning
  • you're always going to want to cut the bitches that set the curve. always.
  • if you're lucky to have both your finals all in the same day, your ass is HOME SWEET HOME the next day.


adieu finals. i hope we never meet again.
