I dislike finals. There, I said it. But hey, that's life. Sometimes we encounter things that we don't like to do. Who knew? My guess is that others feel the same. So maybe as a result we would rather not deal with the fact that they are approaching, or worry ourselves to death, or stress ourselves out until we become sick over them.
So what is the appropriate way to deal with finals week? I think the answer is simple do your best and don't get crazy. I myself have at times mentally 'checked out' at the thought of having to take finals. Looking back, I laugh at myself for reacting like that. Students love to pretend that the end of the world is coming when finals week approaches. I used to think that too, but guess what? Life goes on. In less than three weeks we will be enjoying our summer and catching up on season latest season of Greys Anatomy or running around at some camp in the hills.
