Quick-witted and insanely smart, Rory Gilmore has a track record for memorable, relevant quotes that have become a part of fans’ repertoires. With it being finals season, many of Rory’s words can be conveniently interpreted to reflect life during the last weeks of the semester. Here are some of Rory’s wisest words that explain your life during finals season.

"Who cares if I'm pretty if I fail my finals?"

Who cares if I'm pretty if I fail my finals?

Gone are the days of actually trying to look decent when going out in public. Now you’re heading to the library in workout shorts and an old t-shirt with your hair in a messy bun. School first, fashion second.

“My books look sad. Can books look sad?”

My books look sad. Can books look sad?

Yes, all of your textbooks will look very depressed…if you don’t open them. Crack those books and get studying! You wouldn’t want your books to be sad now, would you?

“College is not just a crazy, wild, sleep-deprived, hedonistic society!”

College is not just a crazy, wild, sleep-deprived, hedonistic society!

Actually, it is. Emphasis on the sleep-deprived.

“I’ve now used the word ‘suck’ so much that it’s lost all meaning to me.”

I\u2019ve now used the word \u2018suck\u2019 so much that it\u2019s lost all meaning to me.

And you’ve probably used it about your final term paper or your ability to stay focused on studying for more than five minutes at a time.

“I cannot do this alone. I need my mommy and I don’t care who knows it.”

It’s okay, we all turn into needy children during finals season.

“A ‘D’ at Stars Hollow High is like an ‘F’ at Chilton. It’s worse. It’s like a ‘G’…or a ‘W’.”

Rory dropping backpacks

You’re basically accepting that there is a class or two in which you might just get a grade that comes after the letter ‘F’. You tried.

“A little nervous breakdown can really work wonders for a girl.”

I love coffee!

A nervous breakdown doubles as an excellent study break!

“Can’t you shut up for five seconds, please? Thank you.”

I really do hate everyone today, including myself.

Your response when your friends start daydreaming aloud about the imminent summer. Or your friends’ response to you when you procrastinate studying by rambling on about who knows what.

“I can’t finish all this and sleep at the same time."

I can\u2019t finish all this and sleep at the same time.

It may seem like you can’t finish, but trust me. You can. And you will. Every difficult task eventually gets completed. And even if you’re seriously lacking some sleep, you have an entire summer ahead of you to make up for it.

As difficult as finals season is, and as much as these Rory quotes can relate to your life at this time, it’s important to stay motivated and focused on finishing the semester. Remember that summer is right around the corner. Besides, if you’re ever feeling in need of some motivation as you push through finals season, just ask yourself: WWRGD. (What would Rory Gilmore do?) I think you know the answer.

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!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. 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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
