Everyone knows that you have to take midterms pretty much always. Sure, sometimes you get that one professor that doesn't do midterms, but you can't avoid them forever. At some point, you just have to take them. Whether you space out your studying over a week or two and leisurely memorize terms or write essays each day or if you're like me and you study everything in one long day, you know that midterms suck *almost* as much as finals. So, to help you get through this rough time here's a list of relatable feels for midterm week accompanied by some pretty funny memes, if I do say so myself.

1. Procrastinating like there's no tomorrow

Just one more Netflix episode. Just one more slice of pizza. Yah, I've been there, too.

2. Feeling overwhelmed AF but STILL not doing any work

Giphy

You're so overwhelmed by everything you have to do that you can't even start. Plus Netflix just added that new show... There's no shame. We've all done that.

3. Very hesitantly starting your work and feeling MORE overwhelmed

Giphy

So, you finally started doing your work, but there's so much!

4. You're studying (Good job!) 

You got into your groove, and you're making your way through those flashcards or reading in your textbook. You're feeling better.

5. It's the night before the exam and you're scared as hell

Giphy

Do you know the information? Is the professor going to put things on the exam that you haven't studied? What if you fail? What will happen to your career? Trust me, we all know what it's like. Midterms, man.

6. Feeling an insane amount of nervousness the morning before

You studied really hard, but you're so nervous.

7. Getting to the test and feeling that wave of determination and relief

You studied hard. You know you can do it. Congrats! The hard part is over!

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!

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.
