The 12 Stages Of Finals Week, According To ‘Friends’

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

Well, we’re almost done with the academic year and that only means one thing…FINALS. What’s better to describe our pain than the cast of Friends?

1. So finals are just around the corner

2. Did someone ask you how studying is going? Yeah, probably, so you respond like this

3. And then people ask you why you didn’t study during spring break

4. Making fun of those friends who have more finals than you

5. Pulling all-nighters? You’re a pro!

6. When going over course material with your classmates, and they start discussing notes that you’ve never seen before

7. When people criticize you for stress-eating 

8. And you also have to pretend like you’re doing perfectly all right

9. But you’re really questioning literally everything

10. You feel like getting on a plane and plan on never coming back

11. But it’s not too bad because your friends share your pain

12. And the last stage of finals week, when you show yourself a little appreciation for getting through it without completely losing it

Good luck you, collegiettes! Hopefully this cheered you up and made your day. Let’s ace these finals!
