As the spooky season approaches, so does midterm season! Here are the phases of midterm season as told by Friends gifs.

 

Realization

There’s nothing worse than pulling up your calendar only to realize that you have midterm exams this week!

 

Denial

After you realize that you have midterms, you don’t want to think about them.

 

Anxiety!

After the denial phase, you will be hit by a wave of anxiety as you scramble to pull together study guides and notes.

 

Studying

You find a spot in the library to sit down and study for hours.

 

Mental Breakdown

After studying for hours and hours on end, you are bound to have a mental breakdown (or two).

 

Cramming the Night Before

The night before the test is perhaps the most stressful—it’s your last chance to cram in last-minute information!

 

Relief

Finally, you have finished the exam, and feel positively weightless walking out of the classroom.

 

Celebration

Of course, you’re going to have to celebrate after the test.

 

Second Realization

Hopefully your celebration isn’t cut short by a second realization—pretty soon, you’re going to have to start the cycle all over again.
