Somehow the last week of classes come out of nowhere and hit you like a bus. All of those assignments you looked at and said "I still have time, I'll do it later" are all due tomorrow and you have no idea how you got to this position. But what better way to alleviate stress (or increase it through procrastination) than to spend time watching "Gilmore Girls" and learning life lessons from them? You'll probably learn more from those three kick-butt women than your schoolwork, anyway, right?

1. You realize that the last week of the semester came and you have no idea how you got here.

"Hold on. I'm looking up 'aneurysm' in our medical dictionary to see if I just had one" — Emily Gilmore

"A little nervous breakdown can really work wonders for a girl." — Rory Gilmore

3. On top of all of your assignments, you're having to bake things for all of your class "end of the semester" parties.

Giphy

"The Long Island Ice Tea makes you do things you normally wouldn't do." — Lorelai

6. Your professors start telling you to make sure you sleep and you roll your eyes knowing that will never happen.

Giphy

"You have to sleep, it's what keeps you pretty." — Lorelai

7. Food and coffee become your only source of joy.

Giphy

"Everything in my life has something to do with coffee. I believe in a former life I was coffee." — Lorelai

8. Your professor reminds the class about the paper due in two days that she swears she talked about last class, but you don't remember.

Giphy

"I'm so exhausted with incompetent people, I don't know what to do anymore." — Emily

9. You and your gal pals start considering a weekend trip instead of studying.

Giphy

"People can live a hundred years without really living for a minute." — Logan

10. You remember how lucky you are to have an education.

Giphy

"I can't believe we get to sit around and talk about books and get graded." — Rory

11. You finally get serious about studying for your finals and finishing all of your assignments for the semester.

Giphy

"Coffee please, and a shot of cynicism." — Lorelai
