The Observational College Humor
of Steve Hofstetter
Finals week is approaching - when everyone tries to out do eachother on how
much their life sucks. "I have four finals." "Oh yeah? I have five finals."
"Oh yeah? I have five finals in three days?" "Oh yeah? I have five finals in
three days, and my parents are a one-legged circus midget and a drunken
monkey in a space helmet." "Oh."
Observational Humor
"It's funny because it's true."

"Observational Humor comes out every weekend, and is meant to be a pretty
accurate depiction of college life. If you feel I've missed something, get
over it."
Reading week is the traditional period between the last day of classes and
final exams that universities give students off to study. But at most
schools, it's been shortened to one or two days. I guess Christmas had to
get some of those 12 days from somewhere.
I have come up with a formula to see how many finals someone has:
N = (days since last shower + days since last shave + times you used an
academic reference to substitute for a punch line in the past week)/2
Studying for finals doesn't take that much time. It's taking the shrink-wrap
off all my books that eats up my day.
Professors are not supposed to give finals during reading week, but many of
them do in order to end the semester early. That way, everyone can make
their flight in time for the holidays, when they have to explain to their
parents why they failed all of their finals during reading week.
When you have a ton of reading to do before finals, it's really frustrating.
"600 pages by Monday? That's so unfair. They should have given us more time
to do this. Like three months."
