The life of a Peabody student during finals week
Vanderbilt has an intriguing finals atmosphere: students meander around on 0-2 hours of sleep per night, moving from a test to the library and just maybe stopping for coffee in between. Â When you’re a Peabody student, however, your life tends to be a bit different come finals week. Â Instead of toiling away to prepare for a seemingly-impossible test, you write papers. Â And if you’re an on-top-of-it Peabody student, you might get those papers done before they’re due. Â I was lucky because all of my papers and presentations were for the 10th of December–almost the first day of finals. Â I’m only still wandering Vandy’s campus because of my acting exam on the very last day: Saturday the 15th. Â While it sucks to be trapped here with just one exam looming over my head, it’s also a blessing because I get to explore the many joys of college life.
Joy #1: Sleeping in to obscenely late hours.
Joy #2: Watching movies until even more obscene hours.
Joy #3: Christmas shopping at the bookstore (can anyone say Vanderbilt merchandise sales?)
Joy #4: Wandering from study break to study break, stocking up on free coffee, Krispy Kreme doughnuts, Maggiano’s, etc.
Joy #5: Leisurely preparing for my final exam.
Joy #6: Catching up with old friends you haven’t seen all semester because of busyness.
Joy #7: Getting to organize your schedule and textbooks for the following semester without waiting in mile-long lines.
Joy #8: Getting to go out with Dexy again on our second Target adventure of the year (read her blog post about it!)
Joy #9: Getting to attend the Hobbit midnight premiere!
Joy #10: Writing to all of you fine folks. 🙂
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone!
…Until next semester!
