It's the most wonderful horrible time of the year! Finals week is coming full speed ahead. In just a few short days, summer will be here and the long days in the library with your nose crammed in a book will be a thing of the past.

If "Gilmore Girls" told finals, it look something like this:

1. Relying solely on caffeine to stay awake like:


2. Trying to convince yourself that if you drop out, everything will be OK:

16. When you have no idea what anything means on the final:



17. Making plans for how to get rid of your class notes once your final is over sounds like:



18. When the week FINALLY ends, coming home looks something like this:
