The 7 Stages Of Finals Week
Pintrest

Finals. The bane of all college students existence. The week where you can dress like a hobo, eat as much as you want, fall asleep in random places, be crabby and no one can call you on it because literally everyone around you understands.

1. Panic

You're grades aren't where you want them, and you keep calculating over and over what the lowest possible grade is that you can make on your final which causes you to start hyperventilating over your mountains of notes.

2. Sleep Deprivation

Coffee becomes you're new best friend, because after panicking about your grades you come to the conclusion that you don't know anything and therefore you need to go over EVERYTHING from the entire semester, resulting in no sleep.

3. Hanger

You don't have time for sleep, and you BARELY have time to make coffee which probably means you're getting little to no food causing HANGER. Hunger that runs so deep your roommate knows that if she walks by she's likely to loose a hand, while being yelled at.

4. Mental Breakdown

You've given up, you're done for. All those dreams that you had for your future are flushing down the toilet because this test is worth 20% of your grade, and there is just no way.

5. Acceptance of Failure

You get yourself together after losing it, and decide that you just don't care anymore. You stop looking over notes and start looking towards Netflix, because Netflix won't let you down. Right?

6. Anger at human existence

Everything everyone does makes you hate them. They're breathing too loudly, they're sipping their drink in the most annoying way possible, or they're sitting just an inch too close to you. It doesn't matter, their very existence annoys you.

7. "I've got this"

You're at the test. You've gone through everything, every note, every power point, every piece of homework. You've memorized all you can, which clearly means that you're ready to ACE THIS THING.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
