Panic! At the Disco is currently on their "Death of a Bachelor" Tour. Coincidentally, midterms are currently on their "Stress and Sleep Deprivation" Tour. Naturally, the only thing that comes to mind is to create a list of songs that somehow, vaguely, relate to midterms as you're creating your study playlist. These songs are not in the order of the album, but rather the order in which they occur in the viscious cycle that is studying for exams.

1. "The Good, the Bad and the Dirty"

Ah, the beginning of midterms. You're hardcore judging your professors based on how much test review they give you (in-class and out-of-class review are VERY different). It seems as though you "wanna start a fight" with each one, just because they're giving a midterm. You forgot how stressful midterms can be, so you just don't think about them until they actually happen, but your roommates are telling you to get a head start on your studying.

2. "LA Devotee"

You finally started studying! You sit down at your desk with your textbook and notes open, ready to go, but the second you start to actually read, you feel as though you deserve a break because you sat down (because that's a huge achievement...). You can't focus at all, but for whatever reason, you still feel like you're getting something done, and for that, you develop a sense of accomplishment. You also have an upbeat playlist in the background to motivate you to get those A's.

3. "Golden Days"

You've hit a bit of a pause with your studying. While you're trying to google related class things for that extra review, and the next thing you know you're scrolling through social media. Some of your friends you see have already started their spring breaks. You scroll through picture after picture wishing you could be in literally any tropical environment. You're holding on to the fact that just after a few exams, you're free for a break. You can live with that, but you wish it was already over.

4. "Death of a Bachelor"

You've decided to either lock yourself in your dorm or camp out in the library. The stress is starting to get to you both physically and mentally. You've maybe slept 7 hours in the past 4 days. You need to get A's on these exams, and your social life can wait for a few days. You're on a mission. You haven't actually seen your roommate in a few days even though they're sitting across the room from you doing the exact same thing you are.

5. "Don't Threaten Me with a Good Time"

It's day you-don't-know, but you do know that you're not entirely sure what daylight looks like anymore. You might've completely passed out in the library and stayed there overnight. You have no idea who anyone is. You do know that you need a break, but the last thing you need is to completely lose focus. You know the second someone asks you to go somewhere with them, whether it's the mall or another country, you're inclined to say yes just to escape your horrendous studying routine.

6. "House of Memories"

You're starting to lose it...just a bit. The stress of success has definitely gotten to you. You're trying to remember a time before exams, but you just can't seem to envision it. You try to talk with your friends, but they're just as stressed. You're all striving for the same thing, but you've gotten to the point when even if one of your friends gets A's, you'd consider it a success for all. It sort of takes the pressure off of you.

7. "Impossible Year"

You realize that it's not a success for you if your friend gets A's and you don't. It might as well be storming, because you're not going anywhere. Your midterms seem impossible. You don't think you've ever prepared as much for an exam as you have now. You have said your goodbyes to any inkling of a social life you had because it is only work followed by work from here on out. It never seems to stop.

8. "Crazy=Genius"

You're hyped up on caffeine. You don't even know how many shots of espresso you asked for in your coffee. You're nonstop. At this point, it's some hour of the night before your midterm. You don't exactly know when. You feel motivated and fantastic and nothing is going to get in your way. Your roommate is slightly concerned for your well-being, given that you're complaining about a loud ringing noise that isn't actually there and you can't stop reading your notes out loud, and your eyes are crazy red from not blinking, reading, and sooooooo much caffeine.

9. "Emperor's New Clothes"

It's exam day. You're headed into your exam. You're low on sleep, but you hit the coffee one more time before going to class. You've mildly lost it, but you feel confident that you can ace your test. You're "so close you can taste it; see what's yours and take it". You're ready to take your exam in a minimal amount of time, finish first, and leave because you know literally everything there is to know about this subject. You're weirdly excited about the test.

10. "Hallelujah"

You're done! You just handed in your midterm, and now you can relax. Catch up on that sleep you lost, stay away from the caffeine for a few days, but treat yourself nonetheless because you deserve it. You look back on your studying experience, and you regret how you handled it, and you vow to manage your time with your studies come finals season. For now, time is yours. You have no worries (except getting your exam back).

11. "Victorious"

You aced your exams! And you're off for spring break! You officially have no real cares in the world for the next week. You have zero obligations. Congratulations! You're leaving campus a boss and will return rejuvenated with even more confidence. You need you time, and now you can get it. You've learned your lesson, and you know you need to learn how to study the right way for next time, but you know you're only going to complete the same viscious cycle for finals. For now, time is yours!
