We all know the struggle of ending summer vacation only to begin a stressful, busy school year. It's no fun. Here's how back-to-school time usually goes, as told by Gilmore Girls.

You're happily enjoying your summer, oblivious to the proximity you are to the start of the school year, when boom: back-to-school commercials appear out of nowhere.

Next, you get your schedule, and it starts to feel real.

The last week of summer goes by way too quickly.

When, after sleeping in until noon all summer, you alarm goes off at 6 AM on the first day of school.

Walking the halls and seeing all the faces you tried to forget about over the summer is a nightmare.

And then you find your friends and realize it might be okay...

...until you start your first class.

At the end of the week, all you feel like doing is sleeping.

But, too soon, it starts all over again.
