The time has finally come. Time to furiously write papers; forsake sleep; and regurgitate theories and concepts. Finals week has arrived. Finals week is greeted by me with mixed emotions. On the one hand, I reluctantly anticipate the intense pressure to perform and excel; and, on the other hand, I am encouraged because it appropriately cinches an oftentimes laborious semester. Either way you look at it, finals are a necessary component of academia. Hopefully, at the end of it, it may be said of me that I have “persevered and have endured hardships for [God’s] name, and have not grown weary” (Rev. 2:3).
