LDOC

by Betsy Chapman

Today is LDOC (Last Day of Class) for our undergraduates, and that is a thing to celebrate. Your Deacs made it!

All that’s left is to turn in the remaining papers or projects, and/or take the finals. In the spirit of “laughter is the best medicine,” I am sharing some of my favorite finals memes at the end of this post. Click on any individual picture to enlarge, and share any that your Deacs might enjoy.

The next week will be a lot of frenzy – finals prep, packing and moving/storing items for the summer, saying goodbye for the summer. And for our seniors, they’ll be getting ready for Commencement, which can feel bittersweet.

Some of our Deacs might be headed to the beach for a few days after finals, in the grand tradition of Beach Week, Post Exams, or Posties (the name changes from year to year, but the spirit is the same). If your Deac is beach-bound, gently remind them of the need for sunscreen, hydration, and making good choices :)

Remind your Deacs that they’ve got this! A little TLC and a boost of confidence going into finals is a great thing. Enjoy some finals memes.joke showing how spinach reduces when cooked, relating it to difference between notes you took for outline of paper vs word count once typedFinals memeJim from the Office on Finals: pie chart with Procrastinating and Distracting others as the only itemsMr. Bean taking a final exam and only knows name and dateKevin from the office re final exams: you never studied, you just looked at memesFinals meme: when I die, I want my group project members to lower me to my grave so they can let me down one last timeFinals week meme: Game of Thrones edition.
