How You're Feeling During Finals Week, By New Girl
Channel4

As we all know, finals week and the weeks leading up to it can be quite stressful. When we've got two three-hour finals on the same day, an eight-page paper due the next, and that voice in the back of our heads trying to convince us to drop out and become strippers, nothing seems to help un-stress us.

To give you a little bit of a laugh and brighten your day before it goes to shit (I know, we're hoping your day won't go to shit but let's face it, it normally does) here are 15 New Girl gifs describing what it's like to be a college student in 2016 during finals week.

When you've been in the library studying for six hours straight and you don't feel any better about the exam you have tomorrow. Sorry, roommates, but please leave me to wallow in my self pity alone with T Swift.

It's Thursday night and you've got a big exam tomorrow but you're friends want you to go out with them instead of studying. Of course, you know you should stay in and study but, eh, you're just really bad at making *good* decisions.

You to your professor about your uncontrollable laziness, lack of motivation, and inability to be anything but tired. It's just who you are. Sorry, Prof, but you're just gonna have to deal with it.

And the lack of sleep during finals week is really messing with my flow.

On your way to the library after you rolled out of bed without bothering to shower or brush your hair and there are couples everywhere. All smiley and lovey. Come on, people, it's finals week it's impossible to be as happy as you two are!

When your professor tells you that you have your final at 8am on Saturday morning... um, no thanks.

When you finally come out of the library after hours of studying and the only thing you ate that day was a granola bar as a sad excuse for breakfast. Let's just say you dragged your friend to the main dining room so fast that you might've dislocated their shoulder.

*New Girl* reruns are on all day, you know that you have to watch that. Even if you have that exam for the class you hate tomorrow. If I have my textbook open in front of me that counts as studying, right?

You at your friend when they start complaining that they have an 89% in one of their classes while your hanging on with around 70% in most of yours. I mean, as the saying goes, Cs get degrees.

Reading through old notes and not having even the slightest clue as to what you were trying to say. Could I borrow your notes, pretty please? Apparently, I wasn't listening in class like at all.

When you are in the silent part of the library and you realize that you don't know shit and your final is in an hour. Is that stripper thing still an option?

It's 10pm and you finally find some inspiration for your eight page essay thats due at midnight. You got this.

You and your friends after your last final. "Did you fail it?" "Yeah, yeah me too." At least we all failed together, right? And it's finally break!

But, when your alone all you can think about is how disappointed your parents will be when the find out you failed and how you're never going to get a job after college with grades like this. Life is such a struggle these days.

And then a few weeks later you check your grades online and see that your professor curved it, big time. Bye, Bye D. Hello high C!

Happy finals week to all you struggling, tired, and hungry college students out there!

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during 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.
