It's the one week that everyone in the semester dreads... Finals week. We are all drowning in espresso and swimming in our textbooks. It's that time of year where students can openly sleep in the library using their textbooks as a pillow and no one is ever questioned. Here are the 6 stages of finals week:

Relief

The semester is almost done and you're thankful. One step closer to winter break and one semester closer to graduating.

Denial

You know you should've started studying well before the night before the exam. It's still possible to learn a whole semester worth of class in one night, right?

Panic

Time is running out and your anxiety is in full force. You've studied all you can study and all that is left to do is pray that you'll kill the exam.

Confidence

After a quick cat nap before your exam, you realize that you've got this. All those long hours of studying will pay off. You're smart and totally know what you're doing.

Panic again

You walk into the classroom and sit down in your desk.The teacher hands out the exam and it suddenly feels like everything that you've studied feels like it fell out of your brain. Take a breath. You've got this!

Back to relief

Finals are now over! Winter break has begun and that means you don't have to open another book until next year. It's time to treat yourself with a margarita and a Netflix binge.

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
