Finals Week As Told By Lin-Manuel Miranda Gifs

Lin_Manuel on Twitter

Finals week is upon us, fellow college kids. Take a look at these gifs of America's favorite, Lin-Manuel Miranda and hang in there. Work!

1. The final day of classes is over!

The best feeling second only to the semester ending. It's the very brief moment of reprieve before...

2. You remember that finals are still in your future

Oh boy...it's not quite over yet...

3. Time to start studying

Where did your motivation go? Did you ever have it to begin with?

4. When one of your friends has no exams

I mean, come on. How is that fair?

5. Alright, first exam done.

Okay. You can do this.

6. Those 2am McDonald's runs during study breaks

You're just so happy to be away from your computer and out in the world again, if only for an hour.

7. You and your friends just start getting downright weird

Something about finals week brings out the crazy in us all.

8. You have a good cry on your roommate's shoulder

Seriously, your roomie should be paid for the amount of times they've had to talk you off the ledge.

9. It's reaching the end of the week and you're crashing

Stay aliiiiiive...

10. Your last exam of the semester is done

Freedom at last! You got through them all!

11. It's finally time to go home!

Time to go back to your own bed, home-cooked meals, and not wearing flip-flops in the shower.

12. And then your grades go up

But it's fine. You're done. You did it. You survived.

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.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. 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.
