Finals-Rather than different high school

So, this week is finals week at my college. Everyone is spending countless hours in the library, creating massive revenue for Starbucks, and using all that is left of their brain power to prove themselves that they do have college minds.
I really lucked out this year since I only have two finals and both of them are my easiest classes. How come I only have two finals? Well, being a freshman means you have to take a required writing class, and a business class that do not require finals. This might be the ONLY advantage of being a freshman.
Finals always make me think of high school. I don't know why but I always think of my teachers, preparing us for finals the last two weeks of the semester. I think of the library having mandatory quiet hours. It makes me miss all of the good times I had at Bedford High School. I loved that high school, and I am forever grateful l that I was able to spend four years of my life there.
Anyway, back to college. So, because of only two finals. I have not had a lot of stress come into my life. The two classes that I do have finals regard the final as the same point percentage of a regular exam. So, for me it feels like I am just studying for another exam. It makes me worried though, because as I ascend grade level how will I approach the finals then? I guess we will cross the bridge when we get to it.
I'm leaving this hell hole on Thursday and I could not be more excited!!!! I have so much to look forward to! I have a whole month of hanging out at home with my friends and hanging out just like it was the old times! Christmas is only 12 days away! My family and I are going to NY for the holiday! After break I start fresh and anew at Nichols! I just feel like everything is coming together and all this hell I have suffered through has been worth it. I just have to make it though four more days and I will be gone!
I do have to admit though that I am going to miss some things at SMC. I will miss some of the friends I have made here. It will no doubt be hard to make friends at Nichols, but since I will have a lot of my confidence back it should be easier. I will also miss the professors. My economics professor was one of my favorites and I will miss how she was an EXCELLENT teacher. Other than those two things, I will miss nothing about here.
