All college students know the stress of midterms, and we all know that there's a thousand things we'd rather do than study for them. However, since we don't all want to be college dropouts, some things we just gotta do, whether we like it or not. Luckily, we have shows like Friends to help us through these difficult times and be a relatable source of comfort for us.

1. When your professor starts talking about an exam but you totally haven't learned enough yet to actually have an exam.

2. When someone who doesn't have an exam laughs at you about how stressed you are about your exam.


3. When you're trying to study and nothing is cooperating with you.

4. When you finally start studying and realize there's way too much information and you probably should've started studying a week earlier.

5. When it's the night before the exam and you're really starting to panic because you realize you don't know anything.


6. When your parents ask you if you're ready for your exams and you have to play it off like you have everything under control.

7. When everyone else is celebrating because they're done all of their exams but you still have more to go.


8. When high schooler's complain about how hard their tests are and yet they really have no idea what's coming.

9. When your friends have to forcibly drag you to your exam because you still aren't prepared and don't want to experience this tragedy.

10. When you get the exam and look at the first question and realize you've just completely blanked on all of the information.

11. When you see your grade online a few days later and it's so much worse than you were anticipating.

12. But then there's one exam that you miraculously pull a good grade from.

Good luck on midterms everyone! And if it doesn't go too well, watch some Friends, and you'll feel so much better after.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
