College Students Unite!!!

Well...I just got bored of studying for my Economics exam and decided to post this so any other students studying for finals could relax...and complain about their exams!

I just got done with a marathon econ session...figure I'll get another half marathon tonight and tomorrow before the test

I finished all my finals except one and I'm debating on whether or not I should study for it. No one in that class has higher than a C, and we always fail his tests. They don't reflect the material we covered in the slightest. He's one of the worst teachers I've ever had. He thinks he teaches kindergarten or something. He gets mad if we're on our computers (most of us take notes on them) and will yell at you if you're not "facing front." How stupid is that? It's college for crying out loud! :mad: Anyway, I already know I'm going to fail the test, so tomorrow I'm going to just look it over for a few hours, and try to get what I can out of it. This is really going to pull down my GPA, and it's so infuriating because I'm only .02 points away from a full scholarship. :tears:

that sucks...luckily I haven't had a professor like that. I know the feeling on gpa's though. My accounting professor tried to give me an application for an accounting scholarship that would be worth about $5000, only to find out that my gpa is .03 too low...that would have really helped my parents too...I might be able to get it after my finals this semester though which would be sweet!

I start finals tomorrow. I am in similar situation as you guys. my gpa is .044 away from getting into the 5 year masters program. That would really cut down on the scholarship money I need for grad school. I have Ancient Egypt tomorrow, Automatic Feedback Control Systems on Thursday, Applied Electromagnetics on the following Monday, and Digital Signal processing the next day. (I am an Electrical engineering major)

If I don't get into the 5 year master program, my GPA will still be high enough to get into really good grad school. Maybe I will leave michigan and head down south for grad school. I am tired of this cold weather.

You go to UM? I go to South Carolina and it is cold here right now(I guess cold is relative, huh?) I'm just a Soph, but I'll need a good GPA to get into the MACC(Masters of Accounting) Program here.

I do all my college online... I take new courses every 12 weeks, and its coming down to finals. I just finished a final paper that I put off until the last minute, 7 pages of excellence that took me 2 hours to finish... gotta love procrastination!!! :D

x2 on procrastination...thats why I love not having early classes so I can do all of my homework/studying before class as opposed to the night before

I had to complete a drawing for friday (which I did, ON TIME!!). It took about 60 hours, 36 of which were done in one sitting. It was intense, and I was falling over by the end of it. Just glad it is done with.

Now I have two more exams.....uuugh

I have studying I need to do for some finals, and a paper I need to write. I should be writing it right now but I guess I'm just procrastinating :rolleyes:... I have an American history final that will be cake (the professor already gave us the answers) but the paper is in that class, a social stratification exam I am a little nervous about, and a Spanish exam. This is my first quarter at this college so I have a clean slate to work with for my GPA, it feels pretty good

i have two science finals, a take home final, and the worlds most annoying lab report to complete before I can call it a day. ...oh yeah and the semester project in Art of Japan, but my group is full of proactive people with control issues so I'll let them shoulder it (i'm busy shouldering my genetics lab group so it's not entirely unfair).

Good luck everyone. This, too, shall pass.
