Summer is so close and yet there is just one more obstacle to get through. One big, ugly, obstacle. Finals week is here ladies and gentlemen... and if I may ask, how much studying/preparing have you done this far? If you're like me or many of my friends, not very much. Sometimes we just need a little inspiration, right? Well, look no further my dear, here are eight very encouraging quotes that will get you in study mode!

1. Leo is here for you

Isn't this just every girl’s dream? Leo is here, honey, but only if you keep going and study study study! First, I drink coffee. It is no secret that caffeine is what gets a majority of us through the school year. We tend to double the intake around finals week, and with good reason. So, get yourself some coffee and do those things.

2. Don’t be afraid to fail

Gotta throw a sappy inspirational quote in here somewhere, right? Being afraid to fail finals is a very rational and very prevalent fear. You can almost smell the fear radiating off of students on campuses all over the world in our final days of the semester. As long as you can say you tried your best, you can’t do anything more.

3. Pain is temporary, GPA is forever

While your GPA may not really follow you through your whole life, it does last your whole student life. Studying may be a pain and seem unbearable but at the end of the day you and your GPA will be grateful you decided to skip out on your third nap for the day and open a book instead.

4. Meredith Grey = Goals

Meredith could not have become a badass surgeon and marry McDreamy by spending valuable time binge-watching Netflix. You can bet she had her nose in a book and passed her tests. Want to be a badass like Meredith? Step. Away. From. The. Netflix.

5. Put your brave face on!

Even Michael Scott, the “World’s Best Boss”, has those moments where nothing goes right so you just pretend you’re fine. Finals might have you scared or uneasy, but put on your brave face when you walk in. Just make sure it looks a tad more natural than his and you'll have more confidence!

ADDED INCENTIVE TO PASS: Pass your finals and you’re one step closer to becoming world’s best boss.

6. Survive now, cry later

Survive the intensive studying and pass the final before you take the time and energy to cry about it. This is important for two great reasons. First, trust me, you don’t want to get tear smudges on your notes because you’ll never be able to study them then. Second, save your tears for when you’re walking across the stage to get that degree!

7. Good luck to those reading this LOL

And, a final good luck to all those scouring the Internet for inspiration to study rather than actually doing it. I opted out on studying to write this article so I’m in the same boat. Yay for college, am I right?
