The Similes of Finals

The Similes of Finals is what you would like to call finals as it feels and pertains to you. What are finals? They're not just exams. They are more than that. They are pretty much what your life is, and in fact, they're this month.

10. Finals are like burnt toast, you were looking forward to it in the morning but it just have to be ruined.

9. Finals are like your mother telling you to clean your room, and you decided to do so but only superficially so everything looks nice but you stuffed most of your belongings under your bed. Your mother eventually decides to vacuum and upon seeing your junk all over the place, you get in trouble. In other words, please study so you won't have this problem.

8. Finals are like the smelly guy who decided not to shower or brush their teeth this morning to make it to the 9am exam because they decided to cram all night. Please, take care of your hygiene.

7. Finals are like ordering coffee from the new hip and chic cafe down the corner. There are so many options you go with your intuition. Yes, I bubble in my scantron - with intuition.

6. Finals sure are exams, but what are they exams of? They are exams of how well you read and how you interpret things. Thus, finals are like reading the opposite sex, you read or interpret them wrong and you get on their bad side (especially females). Finals are sure moody.

5. Finals are like rainbows (at least in my school). There are at least 8 different versions in 4 different paper colors.

4. Finals are like marathons. It's the end of the semester, the final stretch. You run and run and... oh crap there's next semester. Make this a decathalon until graduation.

3. Finals are the holidays. No, it's not because this occurs in December and we have X'mas around the corner, nor is it because it occurs in May/June and you have summer vacation (yes it's a holiday!). Finals are like holidays because they are special, they only occur once throughout a year. Just like the holidays, there is not enough time for them.

2. Finals are like playing football. You got a question right? SCORE! What? You're stuck at a question? Yea the question pwned you back a few yards. Well, this technically applies to any other sport too, but football is rather painful and I for one is a tiny gal so finals are like huge guys to me.

1. Finals are like fancy guys (or pretty women for you males). They present themselves in an eloquent, formal way with verbal elusiveness. They entertain you, capture your focus, and when you think you finally got them, they turn you down. Finals are like that, they play hard to get with your grade.
