I had a final once that consisted of listening to and analyzing baroque music. I have no idea how I got through that. I really regret taking that class.

Baroque wasn't too bad and Classical seems ok. However, those damn Gregorian chants man. I still have nightmares. O.o

What could possibly be so important that it takes 45 minutes to report. And your class must have 5 people in it else it would take a whole semester for everyone to present.

It may be thesis presentation for graduate school. According to my professor, I will also (eventually) have to present an equally as lengthy presentation in front of 20 or so board members of the school, and then present to an audience of 60+

Graduate theses are no joke.
 
Up way too late after the adrenaline rush of a good presentation. Finishing my first year of my MBA program. It's only two classes a semester, but waking up to go to work at 5am and not giving your final presentation until 8:30pm makes for a long day
 
haha oh wow, our prof just posted some stats on marks for the final exam. the lowest mark was 84%, the average was 94%.

he also claimed he wasn't going to curve the grades at all.
 
I've never really pulled an all-nighter, but I've come quite close. I don't really enjoy staying up so late, but my sleep schedule is pretty messed up now.

Finals begin next week. I can't wait until it's over.
 
I've got my hardest final at 8am tomorrow morning, followed by another rough final at 6:30 tomorrow night. Friday is my cake final, natural disasters lolol. Pad that gpa
 
Finals are in three weeks for me. I have 3 illustrations to finish and an essay due the second last week. I would've been more fine with finals coming if I had a spring break. A lot of caffeine for me around this time.

I need summer now.
 
I've got four finals and a paper coming up in two weeks. Everything should be relatively manageable except the goddamn Electromagnetism final. Fuck that class is hard.
 
6 finals this week, have two tomorrow. I need A's on all of them to keep my gpa high. I could use some adderall right about now..
 
Finals are going to be easy, 7 papge paper not so much.

Also don't stay up all night, you won't remember jack shit.

Yeah, but I know nothing about music, I just took the class because it fit my schedule. I'm a math major.
 
I should be sleeping and resting for my exam tomorrow (If I get an A I don't have to take the final so I'm pretty much treating it as such) but alas, GAF.

Otherwise on Monday I just have an easy final for Intro to Sociology and a term paper due for Macroeconomics. And then I'm done!
Before summer classes start. :(

Good luck everyone!
 
Just finished mine up. Not so bad this semester.

My next 3 are going to be terrifyingly brutal though looking at my schedule. I am going to enjoy the next couple weeks while I can (attending summer this year).

I never pulled an all nighter in undegrad. I probably would have failed my exams if that was necessary. Study early and often fools.

Computer Engineer here.

Naaaaaah, I'm done 4/5 exams this term already basically just studying the night before, all going pretty decently but I could be definitely doing better with a little more keeping up in general. Computer Engineering can have a pretty light workload :P
 
I wish I could get my hands on some Adderall but I don't know how one would even do such a thing. I only know one guy who is on it and he actually needs it so I'm not taking it from him.
 
Finals aren't for another 2 weeks here, but I don't think I even have exams this semester. After the 2nd I'll basically be sitting on my ass until the 12th for graduation.

Pretty sure it's against forum rules to suggest how one should purchase illegal drugs at school.

8 finals :( and i am reminded that our curriculum is considered generally easier than medicine(pharmacy), man i dunno how those guys pull it off.

8 finals? Is that separated such as, one class's presentation and exam are separated as two, or are you actually taking 8 courses at once which seems insane.

My finals are May 8th, not very worried as I only recently started college so it's mostly the basics. Do have 5 finals in one day though which is kind of a bummer.

what would you say to a doctor if you wanted a script for adderall or whatever?

I talked to my doctor and told him i had issues focusing , he went to the same school as me, and I am doing the same type of courses he took as well. Maybe I lucked out or something, but yeah I have 4 finals left. My last one is next Thursday so its gonna be a long week for me...

What's your field of study?

Pharmacy. It's not as bad as it sounds. 7 Sorry, miscounted. And one of em is just patient communication, which is pretty easy. I'm still not going to sleep for an entire week.

We are taking 7 courses. But one is patient communication and is pretty laid back. It's generally not complex stuff, just very voluminous, which is pretty typical of healthcare professional school. We aren't really learning advanced physics,math or chemistry(not yet and we will never go really that in depth) haha.
 
On my last week.

Had 2 scheduled for Friday but they were cancelled due to the school shutting down in the Boston lockdown. So I did them monday.

One of which is from a new teacher just starting out part time and he sucks balls. Exams have to be 2 hours long, his was more like 4. So after 2 and a half hours I basically said, listen I can't finish this, and I have another final in 30 minutes. Can it be a take home (it should have been from the start) What a joke. So now I gotta finish that bullshit on top of doing my final project for one class, a lab report, coop(internship) interviews, other finals, and a lab report I missed because I was sick.




FSINFkjaf akg this week kill me
 
I am finishing my last grad paper of the semester and I bit off more than I can chew going down the Deleuze and Guattari path. I am not in philosophy. sigh.
 
5 finals two weeks from now, one which is on Saturday (da fuq, I know they existed but I've never had one till now). Luckily only 3 are cumulative, and 2 of the 3 I'm not worried about (Spanish and comp. science). Accounting is gonna suck though.

Oh and I've never tried Adderall. I've wanted to a few times but I'm a little scared of how I'll react to it. Should I try once just as a test drive?
 
I'm not in school anymore, but my poor time estimation skills still have me up at 3am doing stuff for work.

Still have that nightmare every once in a while that I forgot a test or I'm missing class on the day of a final.

awww yeahhhhh, summer classes, I guess I don't technically need to take them but... I would like to graduate next year and also not kill myself.

I have a diagnosis of ADD, give me my pills. Mainly because I have a diagnosis of ADD. I don't generally get refused those sorts of meds.
 
Last final week ever. Woot. Woot!

I am finishing up a research paper focusing on same-sex domestic violence victims (and why law enforcement blows at this area). I have a Japanese II final on Monday, and an online final during a span of time next week.

I completely finished my internship, papers and all that jazz. And I had all of my presentations yesterday (all went well).

Once I finish up my last semester of school, I'm going rafting in Georgia!

I'm also please to say that I have never taken adderall for finals week. And I have an extreme form of ADHD. Screw that noise, I'll ace all of my classes on my own merits! :-D
 
My last class is on the 2nd. My first final is the 14th... Last day for finals is the 15th...

(The rest are in class affairs)

Operating systems and intro to algorithms, my two hardest classes so I guess having almost 2 weeks to study is a plus.

A fellow Pharm student! We're lucky that we do our courses in blocks, so we don't get a giant pile of exams at the end, but courses are covered way too quickly because of it, and we're always busy writing something. Have my last final on Friday then I'm home free.
 
I really just can not give a shit about this physics finale. The difference between me studying for weeks straight, and me doing absolutely nothing on our first test? Some 20 hours+ on the weekends, and another 40-50 hours during the weekdays. Compared to doing nothing.

5 points less. That was it.
