Midterms suck. We all know it, and we all feel it. Midterms are that thing that takes over your life for two weeks, and you pour your whole heart and sole into them just to do it all over again a month later.

So here are some quotes to get you through your first round of Spring midterms:

1. "Sometimes you just have to put on lip gloss and pretend to be psyched." - Mindy Kaling

It gets dreadful sitting in the same spot in the same place for hours on end, but you got this.

2. "If you were able to believe in Santa Clause for like 8 years, you can believe in yourself for like 5 minutes." -Unknown

After all, confidence is key during an exam, other than knowing the material.

3. "Embrace the glorious mess that you are." -Elizabeth Gilbert

It's okay if things get a little messy because you're gonna kick butt on exams.

4. "Toss your hair in a bun, drink some coffee, put on some gangsta rap and handle it." -Unknown

Nothing beats messy hair and coffee. Own it.

5. "We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same." -Carlos Castenada

Put your work into your classes and into positive mental health. Nothing else.

6. "Sometimes you gotta work a little, so you can ball a lot." -Tom Haverford

Get through midterms, and the the rest is history.
