Finals Week. Never fear, you are not alone in the resentment, frustration, and exhaustion you're probably feeling right now. If anyone understands us, it's Gavin. A few months ago, I wrote an article that went low-key viral entitled "College Life As Told By Gavin Memes." I was quite overwhelmed by the extent to which college students seem to be able to relate to the child star. So, I was inspired to compile a brand new set of relatable Gavin memes pertaining to something all college kids around the country will be experiencing in the next few days:
1. When the year has been going by at a snail's pace and all of a sudden finals are next week
2. Sitting in crippling fear thinking about all the studying you have to do, but still not studying because it's too overwhelming and you wouldn't know where to start anyway
3. When someone tries to tell you they have *way* more work to do for finals than you. WE'RE ALL SUFFERING, OKAY.
4. Looking at your study guides and realizing they may as well be written in another language
5. When you're eight hours into studying and you start contemplating your existence and thinking that you'd be better off dropping out and joining the circus

10. Looking at the people who don't obey the rules of the library's quiet zone like
11. Trying to keep it together every time someone asks you: "Ready for finals?"
12. When studying until 2 A.M. every night starts to catch up with you
13. Having an existential crisis while studying and realizing that whether you pass or fail you're still gonna die someday
14. What your notes from the semester look like
15. Trying to clean up the mess you made during the semester like
16. How you look going into your exam room
17. How you look once you get your exam in front of you
