      Uhh Senior in high school here

      AP Calc final next Thursday (probably my hardest final)
      American Gov final next Thursday (easy ****)
      Honors Physics final next Firday (difficult but A-able)
      Theology final next Friday (yeah I go to a Catholic school, again easy ****)
      Brit Lit final the following Monday (Shakespearean sonnets anyone? easy)
      Honors Italian IV final that Monday (hard as f*ck but I won't even study haha)

      Then there's not even a spot open for me to take my Honors Human Anatomy and Physiology final so I'll have to take it after school >_> Pretty easy though, not worried about it.

      Then after Christmas in January for some reason I have my last final for "Honors Java," a class my teacher created specifically for me because I had already taken AP Comp Sci last years haha. Super easy though.

      So excited for finals guys thanks for making me waste my time on here and not studying!

      I also have a question for any Computer Science majors. Are college finals in this field difficult? Because right now for me they're really easy but I found the AP test tough so I don't know what to think. Would you recommend venturing into the field of Computer Science? It's what I really want to do but I don't know if it's the best idea. Any input would be great.

        ajlsdkajlkdajsdlkj this paper is really dragging on (mostly me being distracted/unmotivated to just finish ****)
        Eh well at least it doesn't really matter if I pull an all nighter since I have all Wed/Thurs to study for Friday

            True.

            Isn't this why it's a final?

            Oh yes because the fact I'm 18 and endured a whole quarter means I've never taken a collage level test. Really.

            Most people get anxious for a final because of what Magic and Izzy said. But (this may sound a little over confident, it may not) I chose to think of a final like any other test. I've attended ALL of EVERY class period, I've taken notes and done my work and been doing well enough to where I'm satisfied (whatever satisfaction actually is), I should be fine with some review and making sure that I am relaxed and not stressing. My Psychology class has taught me that if you're over anxious and you cram, you are less likely to do well than if you've studied over a period of time and walk in confident.

            That's my two cents on cramming/studying.

            The only final I think I'll have to study more for than another class is math and making sure I make less errors. I know the material and know the formula's I just commonly make lot's of tiny writing/reading errors no matter my pace.

                If I had done nothing but the finals for my classes, I would still receive a passing grade. Homework, quizzes, other random **** were liek 3% of my total grade.

                  Which is all fine and well, but in college, tests have much more weight. Mistakes made are much more damaging. The material is harder. You're competing against a tougher crowd. Sometimes even if you stick with the material over the course of a semester, it's *still* hard. Not every class is easy by means of simply attending, paying attention, and doing the work. Some exams are not so light that you can pass them off as "any other test."

                  You have to take that stuff seriously -- having a good grade means a lot more in college.

                      Already took my hardest final I think - discrete math >_>
                      12/10 - Programming, which could end up being difficult because the tests they write are always horrid and vague.
                      12/13 - Calculus
                      12/14 - Elementary Japanese I.

                      Easy finals next week, only problem is I'm going to the Rammstein concert in New York City this weekend, so I doubt I'll get any studying done >_>. Maybe on the long drive back.
                      And I am in CMU, too.

                            German final in 25 minutes -- just a presentation and turning about 80 things in, shouldn't be too bad.
                            World Cinema final Thursday -- also shouldn't be too bad, just lots of vocab to learn
                            Sociology Monday -- easy class, exam comes from previous tests
                            Modern Algebra Tuesday -- this one will be a bitch

                            and a research paper due Tuesday as well, which I just need to revise some more, but most of the actual work is already done

                                My friend has been "borrowing" my behavior modification text book for months. The final is Tuesday. We met up today to study. All she did was talk about her boyfriend and how badly she had to take a ****. I wish I was kidding. When she ran off to go to the bathroom (went to a mysterious private bathroom) she took my textbook. I could not go find her because A. I did not know where the mysterious bathroom was and B. I didn't want to walk in on her taking a ****. The final is Tuesday. I don't have my textbook. I cannot study. FML
