Freshmen Freakout

As the end of the year rapidly approaches, many AHS students prepare to take their end of the year finals. For the seniors their last high school final may seem daunting, but many are feeling a lot more confident then when they were freshmen three years ago.
Senior Brittney Gray feels that finals are easy. “I’m not worried, it is going to be nothing,” said Gray.
Some freshman are unfazed by the upcoming tests just like senior David Waiter was. “I didn’t study at all and I still did well. I put in the same effort now as I did then and I haven’t touched my books yet,” said Waiter.
While some do not worry at all, others are extremely scared of their finals. A few seniors reflect on their nerves from their first final. Senior Daniel Ejigu thinks back to his first finals.
“I was a little bit nervous because it was my first final that really mattered,” said Ejigu.
When he was asked if anything had changed for his preparation for the finals, Ejigu responded “No way, I realize that they’re no big deal. I might look at a few notes, but I really am not worried.”
Do seniors do better or worse on their finals than freshman? Waiter believes that “I’m definitely going to do better on my finals as a senior than I did as a freshman just because I’m smarter now.”
When finals begin some students will undoubtedly be worried about them, but for others it will be a breeze. Most seniors are not worried about their last high school finals at all because they have already gotten into their respective colleges.
The obvious difference between the attitudes of the freshmen and seniors will likely play a major role in the outcome of the tests. Now only time will tell if AHS students should be more worried about their finals then they say they are and if the test results prove that they were prepared.
