The weeks before finals get everybody down. We are either too tired, facing caffeine withdrawal or stressed out to the point of giving up. We cry, we suffer and we can't wait for it to end. Disney, as always, is the source for many binge-watching, and in some cases, music therapy to get through those two to three weeks before and during finals. Here are some gifs that accurately describe what these weeks are like, as told by Disney:
1. When you want to quit...
Somewhere toward the end of the semester, especially the fall one, many students consider dropping out because of the stress. We feel the same as Rapunzel until we realize...
2. ...and when you do go back.
... we have spent far too much time on our degrees already. Every single second has gotten us here. Why stop now?
3. When you finally find time to eat in between study sessions...
Much like Lucifer in this scene from Cinderella, we are all a little crazy after study sessions.
4. Thinking you're going to fail BUT passing your tests!
Whether your dragon is test anxiety or a professor that resembles Hitler, we've all struggled through a test and found out that we somehow passed it.
5. Going into the library for the first time to study...
Believe it or not, many students don't use the library during the year, so they are usually pretty amazed upon seeing it for the first time.
6. Making sure our friends are up on time for their finals and study sessions...
Who hasn't been asked to call someone to wake them up?
7. Realizing no regular activities will be easy...
While studying for finals, Mike couldn't even keep his regular activities from being difficult; I feel that on a personal level.
8. Getting last minute papers, essays, and homework assignments.
Professors don't seem to understand that we want to study, not write seven papers...
9. Finding ways to stay alert and awake.
Lucille had it right when it came to staying awake; caffeine. She used patches, but many students use coffee. Stay awake everyone!
10. Realizing you have to go to class...
11. When your professor says good luck
Though they mean well most of the time, professors offering their luck to us before a final is like sending a lamb to slaughter.
12. Leaving your last final like...
Sometimes, by the end, we all reach the point of exhaustion where nothing matters other than leaving and heading back home for a long, long nap.
