Few Christmas movies express the dramatic anticipation of Christmas vacation quite like National Lampoon's: Christmas Vacation. This 1989 hit, starring Chevy Chase, joins the series of National Lampoon films as he struggles to engage his entire family in a "good ole fashion family Christmas". Of course, much like many students' finals weeks, not much about the Griswold Christmas goes as planned.
1. When you think you'll ace the test and then you get the exam and you don't know the first one.
2. When your professor offers candy to pump you for the exam.
3. When you had a C- before the exam and you're pretty sure you did D+ work.
4. When you and your friends realize none of you have the material memorized.
5. When you walk into the exam room on twenty minutes of sleep and five mugs of coffee.
6. When it's all done and you await your grade patiently on Blackboard.
7. When your mom tells you she "knows you'll do great" but you remain unsure.
8. When you want to go out for drinks the night before finals and you're friends say no.
