The End Of The Semester As Told By Gifs

At this rate in the semester I have come to the conclusion that Miley Cyrus might have written The Climb based on my life as a college student. Coming back to school after a wonderful and much needed Thanksgiving break means getting thrown right back into the ringer. Its time to buckle down and give this whole college thing one last shot for this semester. Finals week drains you mentally, physically and most definitely emotionally. So all aboard the struggle bus were in this together.

You probably start this process a few days before finals, you should plan out your time in order to study for every class you have. You soon realize you probably should have done this ahead of time.

Your Professor probably told you: "If you pay attention in class and review the material you should be fine."


You finally decide to start studying at some point but come to the realization that it's just too much.

Something that usually happens to me is trying to justify just how bad things are by convincing myself that its fine, totally fine everything will be fine.

But in reality:

Finals week makes college kids decide between sleep, or studying or just giving up on both and going out.

or you could try a little of both

It's going to be a rocky, rocky road, I'm not going to lie, but we will overcome this. I mean yes these tests may completely make or break us but no pressure, right....

But there's a light at the end of this tunnel... Christmas break. Make this your motivation to take these tests and then were all homebound.

Don't forget the end of the semester is a time to look back on all you have accomplished. Yes you might have messed up a few times along the way but always remember...

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

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.
