The last two weeks of the college term are really difficult. You have something called dead week, which is when all of the last-minute papers, exams, and projects are due. This week I have two papers, two quizzes, two presentations, and I still need to find time to feed myself and get enough sleep.

Here is what the life of a college student looks like during dead week.

1. Well, that was fantastic. I love getting three hours of sleep.

2. Do I have to get up?

3. Five more minutes should be enough of a snooze. (That's a lie, it never is).

4. T-shirt, leggings, whichever shoes I get on my feet first, and I am out the door.

5. Did I put on my deodorant before leaving or is it just my outlook on life that stinks right now?

6. I would say I am a hot mess, but if I look in a mirror, I will probably crack a mirror. Better grab a hat to reduce the blinding of others.

7. Parking is horrible because everyone is here to kiss their professor's ass before going into finals.

8. The further I walk into campus, the more I am forgetting what happiness and relaxation are. Hell, was I ever relaxed?

9. What is the biggest coffee I can buy and how many of them can I afford?

10. Is it appropriate to double-fist two venti iced coffees during group presentations? I'm not asking for a friend, this is just where we are at right now.

11. That was a waste of my time grading other people's presentations when I could have been studying or sleeping away this nightmare of a week.

12. I have two hours before my last class of the day, so do I go to my car and curl up in the back seat or go to the library?

13. Why are library chairs the worst? I hate being a good student.

14. Oh look, a YouTube video of dogs failing to catch things.

15. I have another hour until class and somehow I am now watching YouTube videos on conspiracy theories in movies and TV. How did I get here?

16. I am hungry, and I know coffee isn't food. I can't eat anxiety.

17. These peanuts look good and cheap.

18. Maybe a mozzarella stick for good measure. #treatyourself.

19. OK, half an hour to go. Maybe I will just go and sit in front of the classroom and look over notes or something.

20. Wow, look, a BuzzFeed quiz!

21. Oh, damn, class is starting. Guess I will do my actual work after class.

22. Now that class is over, I can go home and cry over my list of things I need to get done this week.

23. Now that I am sitting at my desk at home, I feel like I deserve a pizza from the hard work I put in today. Maybe a little video game break, a little Netflix. I just want to relax.

24. Sweet, it's only 9:00 p.m., I have the whole night to do a bunch of work.

25. Wait, I have what due tomorrow?

26. Oh crap, I have an online quiz, a reflection, and a presentation due tomorrow?

27. And I have a group meeting tomorrow?

28. Is this how my whole week looks? Why yes, yes it is.

29. OK, if I pound out all of this work I can get a little sleep...

30. It's only 3:30 a.m., I have time for a little bit of sleep. I hope I can feel less stressed out tomorrow.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. 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.

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.
