The 13 Unluckiest Ways to End Classes on Friday the 13th
By Kevin S
Tomorrow is both the last day of classes and Friday the 13th, so you might be confused whether you should celebrate or stay inside to avoid all of the bad luck in the air. Luckily for you, we gathered a list of the unluckiest ways to end classes to help you prepare for the worst!
13. It Snows On The Last Day
Come on, it’s mid-April! At least the Beer Gardens are indoors, and I guess you can spend your last day making snow sculptures in Quad.
12. You Get Sick
Thought you could make it through the year without getting sick? Don’t worry, the opportunities are endless: the flu, a cold, food poisoning from a celebratory campus meal. Maybe this Friday the 13th is a good day to wear your full protective lab gear to class. It’s nice to relax now that classes are done, but don’t let your guard down!
11. You suddenly develop friggatriskaidekaphobia
Friggatriskaidekaphobia is fear of Friday the 13th. Hopefully you don’t already have it or develop it before this Friday, because then you would probably have a lot of fear. Of course, reading this post isn’t helping. Sorry.
10. The Tim Hortons Line is Longer than Usual
In fact, it looks like it’s so long that even if you line up this Friday, you’ll still be waiting by the time your first exam starts in two weeks.
9. Your Notes Disappear
Classes are finally almost done, so it’s time to settle in and get a head start on studying with your beautiful, intricately detailed notes — wait, where did they go?
8. You Fall Asleep in Class
The last class is finally too much for all of the sleep you’ve missed this year. As the professor reviews the best ways to solve for x, your mind starts to drift. Your gaze softens. Suddenly you snap awake and the room is empty. You go outside. Flowers are in bloom. It’s… May 12?
7. You forget to press submit on eClass
Finally, after three hard weeks of procrastinating and one night’s hard work, you’ve finished your magnum opus: the term paper on whichever subject seemed easiest to write about. But wait, did you remember to press Submit on eClass after uploading the document? Are you sure? You should probably double-check right now.
6. Someone takes your seat in class
Seriously? It’s the last day. Bonus points if they’re just saving the seat for their friend who doesn’t show up.
5. You Lose Your OneCard on the Bus
Great, now you’ll have to pay the normal fare for the last few weeks.
4. You Get Caught Walking Down the Wrong Side of HUB
Come on, this is on you.
3. Someone Borrowed Your Last HB Pencil
You’re finally out of pencils, just in time for your multiple choice exam. The only one you have left is 6B, and you’re wondering why or how you even have a 6B pencil.
2. All Of Your Classes Have Finals Even Though You Hate Finals
Ok, don’t worry: it’ll be ok. We have some tips on how to manage from someone who loves finals.
1. You Get Hopelessly Lost in BioSci
You’re not even sure how or why you went to BioSci, but yup, it happened: you’re lost. The only thing left to do is find a window and try to navigate by the stars.
