Finals, it’s a time of Anticipation and excitement but also desperation. Many of us are excited to finish our semesters and enjoy our summer. Today, we’re going to take a deeper dive into Saint Xavier University and see how finals have affected our fellow students. Let’s take a look and see if studying as effectively as Spider-man will score that perfect 100% 

Finals is a big week and I interviewed two students from Saint Xavier University To see how they felt about it. This is what they had to say about completing their semesters.

I asked How the semester and finals went for them, what Major and minor are they graduating with, and what year would that happen?

Nolan Burns Undergraduate Sophomore with a Major in Criminal Justice and a minor said: “It was very easy, i’m gonna graduate with a Criminal Justice Major and haven’t decided on a minor yet, I expect to graduate in either 2026 or 2027. “I don’t know if I’m going to graduate early, we’ll see.”

When asked the same set of questions Joe Carter Undergraduate Junior with a Major in Political science and a minor in History said ”The year I’m graduating is 2026 but if that’s not where you’re asking, I’m a Junior and my major is political science with a Minor in history and finals went fairly well for me.”  

Each student individually all took finals, Joe and Nolan both did fairly well and passed quickly with flying colors. The two students held straight A’s respectively in their fields and continue to excel with Joe’s prospects for school looking brighter as he hits the hallmark of paper writing to become approved for instruction.  

The beginning and end of finals went going from April 31 until the end of May 7 with both parties doing extremely well. Finals were successful and were announced the day of April 31 by both parties’ professors with overall time being spent to study and complete work when needed.   

The studying for the finals happened involving online classes at the two gentlemens homes each individually and classes in person took place at the Saint Xavier University for Catholic teaching and Ministry.  

Well,given the finality of finals in wrapping up what each of us learned, the story happened because of a final of my own and people wanting to get a peek into student finals on what those looked like near the end of the semester. 

The reason for this article was started because of interest in campus news involving my own finals and to give a peek at what the end of the year for undergrad students of Saint Xavier University looks like. 

Once again, Saint Xavier University shows its excellence within teaching and the greatness a university can achieve. Whether you feel desperation or anticipation when Finals approach, it’s how you brace and how you study that makes all the difference to whether it counts.
