The end is near.

Your Winter Break is fast approaching—the only thing standing between you and ~*home cooked meals/ your cozy bed/ a bubble bath/ your cuddly dog/ holidays/ relaxation*~ is finals.

Specifically, that one final paper. You've avoided it; yet, now it is time.

But first—

1. You find every way possible to distract yourself and put off starting:

2. You complain about the assignment for support from your friends:

3. You consider starting and brace yourself:

4. You open a blank Word document and stare:

5. And stare:

6. And drift off:

7. And wake up to look at the clock and realize the predicament you're in because it feels like your brain has been emptied:

8. You laugh at your situation because what else can you do:

9. You stall some more because you've already stalled so much:

10. You suddenly find inspiration!

11. You finally get to work:

12. You find your groove:

13. Suddenly it's 4 a.m., and you're almost done, but you get stuck:

14. You finish!

15. You polish and edit because:

16. You submit, and life is beautiful again:

Good luck on finals everybody! Don't drive yourselves crazy.
