A couple days ago, I was talking to my dad about the end of the semester. I told him that if someone came up to me, right in this moment, and told me that I would have all As and wouldn't have to do a stitch of work from here on out as long as I let them cut off two of my fingers, I would GLADLY give them the knife and say goodbye to my phalanges.

I am drowning in work, I have two ten page papers, three huge exams and a project. I am sure everyone who is currently in higher education can relate to this. But hey, I think I have been through much worse and look at me, I am alive. WE ARE ALIVE!

I have scrounged together some GIFs that I think truly capture the essence of my finals week emotions. You will probably be able to empathize with these, or at least pity those who are currently suffering from EndOfTheSemesteritis.

When the teacher reminds you, "Finals Are Coming."

When you realize you have a week to complete a semester's worth of work.

When the teacher has a review day and you ask the hard questions.

When the teacher assigns a final paper and an in-class exam to be turned in and taken on the SAME DAY.

When you and your roommates decide to pull an all-nighter together.

When the Mountain Dew kicks in at 3 a.m. and things start getting weird...

And weirder...

And weirder...

And WEIRDER! (That booty doe.)

When you are bionic and do not have to stay up all night to finish your paper.

When you realize one of the essays you have to write is all opinion based and you don't have to find sources.

When you stare at your computer for too long and the words begin to feel as though they are jumping off the screen, getting ready to attack you.

When you enter the classroom on final exam day and are waiting to spontaneously combust.

When the teacher asks, "You guys ready?" right before they hand out the exam.

When you get the exam and look at the first question.

When you and other classmates turn in your papers and exams, walking the world, as a free people, TOGETHER.

When you're finally on break, but finals week basically killed you.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL THOSE TAKING FINALS! WE GOT THIS!
