If you're a student, you are probably in the midst of finals right now, or are just getting past them. Finals week is the most frustrating, difficult, mental-breakdown-worthy week of the entire semester. You think the exams are hard before, until you have to study for a semester's worth of information for one final (and then multiply that by the number of classes you have) and you probably leave it until the last minute because let's face it, you're a huge procrastinator. So for everyone going through this, know that you are not alone, and that everyone is just as frustrated. But once you get through them, you can look back and laugh along to these memes that capture the 10 stages of finals week.

Stage 1: Your first final exam out of all your finals is coming up. Since it is the first, you feel more motivated and probably study a decent amount.

Stage 2: You have some time before your next exams, but instead of getting ahead on studying, you do what you do best: procrastinate.

Stage 3: Suddenly, you've got like 3 exams and 2 essays to do in one day. You're freaking out so you go on full study mode.

Stage 4: But you like to take breaks in between studying: mostly to eat (and/or cry), rarely to shower.

Stage 5: After a while, you start becoming exhausted. You just don't wanna study or do work anymore, but you have to. Everything starts slowly blending together.

Stage 6: So you load up on coffee. Coffee literally becomes your best friend.

Stage 7: Sleep becomes a distant memory. You are running on coffee fumes and anxiety.

Stage 8: You start panicking when you realize you need to get like a 375% on your final to get the grade you wanted in a class.

Stage 9: You get to your last final exam.

Stage 10: You then realize the week of hell is finally over! You somehow survived off little to no sleep and food. You get to go home and you've hopefully learned some new things.
