This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UIC chapter.

1. When the professor says the exam is cumulative.

So you try to hold back tears and jam in 17 chapters worth of information. 

2. When you and your friends meet up at the library. 

Productive time! But for 5 minutes. 

3. When you try to study at home on your own.

Study time? Or nap time?

4. When you sleep when you study because you’ve been studying when you’re supposed to sleep.

What day is it again? 

5. When you sit down to write your papers.

Suddenly, I don’t know words. 

6. When you take a “study break” and contemplate dropping out.

Do I REALLY need a degree? 

7. When you have to pull an all nighter.

But even Red Bull can’t keep you up. 

8. When you walk into the library and have to step over bodies.

In college, any place is acceptable for a nap. 

9. When your friends are done with finals and they ask you to go out to celebrate.

But you still have one more to go. 

10. When you are finally done with your last final.

See you in 3 months!
