It's that time of the year--midterms have, once again, crept up on us, and before we knew it, we've become inundated with copious amounts of work. Between the blood, sweat, and tears (mostly tears), midterms quite literally put college students to the test; to help brighten them up, here are 17 gifs from Friends that accurately describes the beast that is "midterms":

When it's two weeks before the midterm

When suddenly all of your midterms are upon you

When you think you know what you're doing but you really don't

When you think about how close Fall Break is...

When someone says they're "done with everything," or, "it's not that hard," or "there's not that much work."

When the professor adds additional material to the midterm

When you collaborate with someone to study or talk out your ideas, and they're super helpful

When you realize you only have a few days left to prepare

When someone asks how you're doing

When you have an epiphany and finally understand (?) it all

When it's ten minutes before before you take the exam / write the paper

When you're actually taking the exam / writing the paper

When you finish one midterm but realize you have three more

When you finally finish all your midterms!!!

Go you!!!
