We’re struggling, fighting and overcoming all obstacles to defeat all those sleepless nights and achieve victory after months of striving; but will we? Exam period is the worst. Once we give up and our minds get stuck between failure and regret, the following series of thoughts take over:
Ana atgawez w a3od fel beit
Whether an A student, D student, single or in a relationship, almost every Egyptian girl gives up on her educational life during finals, thinking sarcastically that it’s time to settle down and change her perspectives one more time (on a sarcastic level of course). “It’s time eni atsatet.”
Kan malha business
Most engineering and medicine students (well, actually everyone other than business students) envy business students for their easy outgoing life. Regretting their decision, they wish they could go back in time and take the easy way. However, from the excessive envy, business students never admit that they’re enjoying college to break the evil eye. Ya nas ya shar kefaia 2ar!
I love my mom
Every student demonstrates a sudden huge love for their mom during finals. Da3wet el om mostagaba; it’s their rescue.
Kolo bema yordi Allah
The amount of people who suddenly start praying, seeking forgiveness and guidance during exam period is highly remarkable! Although it’s amazingly beautiful to get closer to God, ironically, it’s only temporary to get through exams. Well, rabena yatakabal!
El wa7y hayenzel belil
Don’t ask me why, but many Egyptian students have a belief that studying is only meant to be after 10 pm or even after midnight. So procrastinating all day is not a waste of time; they are only getting ready to kill it at night. “Asl belil keda el wa7y byenzel 3alaia“, that’s their excuse.
7adi badi kromb zabadi
An MCQ exam? That’s the best news ever! Let’s study our special way, using the most powerful method: “7adi badi kromb zabadi shalo 7ato kolo 3ala di“; yep! That’s the answer.
Ana se7ety bel donia
The excessive stress, tension and fear might force many students to give up on studying, claiming that “we live only once”, “lih waga3 el demagh“. And we all cry after the results lama “nelbes” in a few subjects.
What would happen if I killed my teacher?
How many times did you secretly kill your instructor in your head? Maba3edesh ya jimmy!
Last but not least, remember, it’s not your first time to get through finals, and it will not be your last. Brace yourselves; take it easy and good luck!
