1. You come to the realization that Finals Week is just around the corner.

 

2 .You tell yourself you’ll start studying the moment you get home.

 

3. But when you finally do get home, you decide to take a nap instead.

 

4. It’s okay though because you tell yourself that you still have another week to study.

 

5. But then a few days pass and you realize you don’t have much time left.

 

6. So you go to the library to pull an all-nighter for the next couple of days and coffee becomes your best friend.

7. You’re looking over your notes and start to panic because you know absolutely nothing.

 

8. Even though your panicking, you’re still distracted by every single social media network.

 

9. You finally decide to buckle down and do work.

 

10. After what feels like hours of studying (it’s only been like 30 minutes), you give yourself a break.

 

11. You finally go back to work, but start freaking out because you’re so overwhelmed.

 

12. You begin to cry and turn to food-binging to solve your problems.

 

13. Then you suddenly feel motivated the night before your exam because you see that everyone is struggling just as much as you are.

 

14. You may not have slept or showered for the past few days, but you feel ready.

 

15. It’s finally exam day. 

 

16. The professor hands out the exams and you’re like “WTF is this?”

 

17. You play eenie meenie miney mo with half of the questions.

 

18. You’re finally done with your exam feeling defeated and hand it back to your professor.

 

19. You then reevaluate your career choice.

 

20. The next day, you’ve accepted the worst and think “I’ll try better next semester”.

21. The professor finally posts exam grades and you actually did better than you thought.

 

22. You did it. You survived finals week.
