Week One.

Just when you think you had great professors, since you obvs listened to your friends, you see the screen go from "Syllabus" to "Chapter One."

Weeks four through six.

You've made it to the point in the semester where you debate skipping that annoying ENG 1010 class that makes you fall asleep anyway.

On that attendance policy: well...

The week before midterms.

You've realized you've missed too much class. Like, is the professor even speaking English, much less teaching it?

The week you get you midterm grades back.


When you realize you have a break coming up.

But you'll spend most of it studying.

Two weeks before finals.


But you hear the sweet, sweet words: "I decided to give the chance for extra credit."

The moment you realize how close finals are.

And studying for finals has you like:

And also like:

Walking away from finals one of these two ways:

Or:

After you finish your finals, you start thinking about your semester.
