Finals week, the week where students are overwhelmed with the work they are assigned right before break.

Almost every teacher assigns projects, assignments worth a lot of points, or tests around the same time. The deadlines are close to each other and students feel the pressure of work needed to be done. They over stress, become swamped with work, and feel like they don’t have enough time to finish it all. A lot of students and I would like to end the semester with good grades and succeed in finals. However, trying to finish all the work before the deadlines seems impossible and stressful.

Someone might say that finals are manageable and that you need to be wise with your time or finals are beneficial to your grades. I would say that some people might not have the time because of out of school activities like jobs, sports, clubs, etc. People also focus on studying and doing their assignments which can affect their mental health and well being.

Finals are a stressful thing for everyone and not something students enjoy.  They can still affect students in the future in the same way. Teachers could assign work a week before for students to work on each day or give them more time to study.
