The ending of the semester can only mean one thing: finals. Finals is the one thing standing between you and your summer vacation. Motivation levels are rapidly decreasing as the days are getting warmer and the sun is coming out. Who wants to stay inside and study and do homework when you can be outside and enjoying the beautiful weather? This last month is hard to stay focused and there isn't much that can cure procrastination. Sometimes the right quote at the right moment can trigger some motivation. Here are 12 quotes to help you get through the semester.

I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying.
