The end of the semester is a time of good weather, sports games and fun weekends, but it's also a time of group projects, final papers and final exams. April and May are a true struggle that all of us college kids have to somehow get through while still trying to enjoy our last weeks at school before the summer. It's never fun trying to balance a ton of work while still wanting to enjoy the end of the semester, but somehow we all do it! Even though these things happen every single semester, it still seems like a surprise when you have 800 things to do all at once. My pal, Will Ferrell, seems to sum up this struggle and the end of the semester perfectly.

1. When April begins, and more work starts piling up...

All of that work that you forgot about in January seems to all be due in the next five seconds.

2. You remember that the five group projects that you've been avoiding are due in two weeks.

Group projects everywhere, meetings every day and group chats blowing up your phone scream that it is the end of the semester.

3. When the professor says that the final is cumulative...

Well, it's a good thing that you forgot everything that you learned from before spring break.

4. You decide to really crack down and get stuff done.

Is it possible to outline 25 chapters, write four papers and finish five group projects in one weekend? Let's do it.

5. When you take a study break that lasts way too long...

Netflix was calling your name and you just had to answer.

6. You physically cannot pay attention in any more group meetings since there are just way too many.

Everything that anyone says in group meetings just starts to become dull background noise at this point. You try to care, but it just does not come easily.

7. That one slacker in the group always tries to get you to do their part of the project because they’re “stressed.”

There's always that one slacker in the group who is going to cause issues right at crunch time and you are having none of it. Do your part and things will be fine, OK?

8. When your friends try to convince you to go out while you're studying...

Just as you decide that you're going to stay in, really focus this time and get all of your work done, your friends seem to have another plan for you. They decide to offer you a much more appealing Friday night that doesn't include textbooks or caffeine, and it's hard to refuse.

9. You cave, go and neglect your responsibilities.

Against your better judgment, you decide to go and enjoy yourself, convinced that all of the work that you had planned to do could be done tomorrow.

10. Then, all the work that you neglected smacks you right in the face.

Until it becomes tomorrow, and you realize just how much you have to do.

11. You’re in desperate need of money to fuel your study food needs, but your parents aren’t sympathetic in the slightest.

Your bank account isn't looking too great, but Dunks and Dominos are necessary to get you through five-hour study sessions. However, your parents feel no sympathy because all of your money this semester went towards boxed wine and drunk pizza.

12. When you find someone who already made a study guide for your final...

You immediately start crying tears of joy.

13. Spring weekend begins.

Finally, it's the one weekend where everyone is making the same poor choices as you. Therefore, it's OK.

14. Then, that Sunday you realize how much work you didn’t do.

You wake up on Sunday morning and it quickly becomes a three-day-long mistake.

15. You take a break and truly consider dropping out.

The thought of dropping out seems to be a more viable option than ever before at this point. You start questioning, "Is this really worth it?"

16. Then you start calculating what you need to get on your finals to pass.

After agreeing that it's worth it, its time to break out the calculator to find out what is the worst grade that you can get to pass or do semi-decently in your classes. You know that we've all done it.

17. You try to convince the professor to give you extra credit and they say no.

Although you rarely pay attention and rarely participate, you're still shocked and angry when the professor has no desire to help you get a good grade in this class.

18. Finals start and you need all of the help that you can get.

May the odds be ever your favor.

19. Friends who have already taken the exam say, “It’s so easy, don’t stress.”

Everyone else seems to have it together and feels confident in their finals. It must be nice.

20. With each final you realize how much you didn’t pay attention over the semester.

Every exam looks like gibberish and everything that you learned in the past semester somehow seems nowhere to be found in your head.

21. You hand in your last final and exchange awkward small talk with the professor for the last time.

Time to hand in your exam. Do you say "thank you," "Have a good summer," or "Please don't fail me, I need to graduate?"

22. Your friends ask you how it went and how you think that you did.

It's better not to ask.

23. Now, you have to actually say goodbye to your friends for the summer.

Now that all of your finals are done, it's time to pack your things and hit the road. So, you start to realize how much you do not want to say goodbye to your friends. You've been too focused on finals to really hang out and now that is all that you want to do, but you have to leave.

24. On the car ride home, you're sad over how much you miss school already.

As stressful as the past few weeks have been, you realize how much fun you had this semester and how much you do not want to leave. Can't we just stay at school all year round, but without the classes and all of that stressful stuff?
