Every college student knows that there is little joy to be had in the days following Thanksgiving break. The end of the semester is near, yes, and freedom is so close you can practically taste it. But there is one big obstacle in your way; an obstacle menacing enough to make a grown man cry. That's right, kiddos. It's Finals Week.

Try to take a deep breath and remember you're not alone. The rest of your classmates will be suffering along with you! And if that isn't enough to keep your head attached to your body, just take a comical trip to Stars Hollow.

10) Realizing the only way you're going to stay awake for the exam itself is with something strong:
