1. When you were a happy "go-getting" freshman and decided to take an 8 a.m. math lecture.

You know when you came straight out of high school thinking you get up for school at 6 a.m. and have plenty of energy for the day. Well.... congratulations! You have just made the first of many mistakes you will make on this college journey.

2. One word... Procrastination

You think you have all the time in the world. After all, it is only a 10-page essay. You can just write it tomorrow....tomorrow..... okay the next day....okay Saturday morning will be perfect, you have Sunday...*Sunday night at 8 p.m.*... AH OH MY GOD HOW WILL I EVER GET THIS FINISHED BY MY 8 A.M. LECTURE!!!!.... Casually picks up phone and scrolls through Snapchat one last time before finally committing to your essay... and you need a nap now... okay... *grabs 4 cups of expresso* now let's start.

3. Late night Netflix binges

You know you should be stu-DYING but Grey Anatomy is so much more interesting than your anatomy homework. You sit there and think, " I can't wait to do what Meridith Grey is doing in a few years" while you are avoiding everything possible to get to where she is.

4. Fast food is life

You know your body can't run on Doritos and Dr. Pepper all week... But somehow you make a terrible 3000 calories a day work.

5. Sleep deprivation is real

From late night Netflix binges to staying up late at a party, you manage to get approximately 53 minutes of sleep a night.

6. And lastly, you know the money struggle is real

Its amazing how when you get paid, you can make a $300 biweekly check stretch between all of your expenses. You have successfully mastered the art of blowing $280 in one day and making $20 last the next $13 days until you get paid again.

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
