College is by no means easy- but the end of the semester can be especially stressful. It seems like the last few weeks of the fall semester is a mad dash to get through finals and on to the holidays. Here is an accurate depiction of what happens during the last three weeks of the semester. I hope all of you college students out there make it through another successful semester- and may the odds be ever in your favor.

1. You come back from Thanksgiving break feeling like those few days off were just a tease.

2. And you know the worst few weeks ahead are what stands between you and Christmas break.

GIPHY

It's fine. Everything is fine.

3. So you do everything you can to remain positive.

GIPHY

4. You begin to realize that your planner is the one key to your survival through finals, so you begin to write your life down.

GIPHY

Hmm. According to my planner I have just enough time to fit in another writer's block on this paper before the next mental breakdown.

5. You realize that you have approximately 5 tests, 4 papers, 3 presentations, 2 anxiety attacks and a partridge in a pear tree to complete- and that's all BEFORE you even get to finals week.

GIPHY

6. The hours seems like an eternity as your eyes glaze over each new study guide, and you wonder if Christmas break actually exists.

GIPHY

7. Somehow you make it through those giant assignments and tests, and you have a new outlook on life.

GIPHY

I'd like to thank my bed for always loving and supporting me, even though we haven't seen each other for a long time.

8. But then it hits you.

GIPHY

Oh CRAP....

9. Finals. You still have finals.

GIPHY

Well, there went any sanity I had left.

10. You collect yourself, and try and smile through the pain.

GIPHY

11. As Finals race closer, you try to balance studying with a little Christmas cheer.

GIPHY

12. On the eve of Finals week, you find yourself torn between feeling confident and feeling like a total failure.

GIPHY

No amount of coffee can save me now. Either I know it or I don't.

13. You walk into the first final, resembling your best attempt of being a functional human, ready to stare the test in the face and give it your best shot.

GIPHY

14. ...That wasn't as bad as I thought...

GIPHY

15. You get your grades back:

GIPHY

Maybe I won't fail out of school after all...

Congratulations, you have successfully completed another semester of college. Now, go home and relax, celebrate the holidays and enjoy your families... because in about a month we will have to come back and do it all over again! .... #college. Happy Finals!
