The 10 Stages Of Finals Week, As Told By 10 Of The Cutest Creatures On Earth

Hey there, you almost-done-with-the-semester student!! I get it: everything about that phrase sounds just right except for the little "almost" that's squeezed in there. After all, that "almost" packs in a lot of work BUT, that's not what we're here for right now. Right now, just let yourself smile, relax, and laugh at these adorable little guys.
