Finals week is quickly approaching and every college student goes through different stages during this trying time. Some of them wait until the last minute and feel an overwhelming sense of procrastination. Some of them actually prepare and feel a sense of confidence. But no matter what, almost all feel panic at some point, just know that you're not alone in your misery. Here are the 10 stages that every college student goes through during finals week:

1. Denial.

You know you should've started studying a little bit each night weeks ago, but you didn't because you "have so much time".

2. Procrastination.

Speaking of denial, you denied having exams for so long that now it's a few days away and you have to start studying. But there are so many distractions that are so important, so who REALLY needs to study?

3. Panic.

Now that you've waited until the last minute. You realize you have way more material to study than you thought.

4. The need for coffee.

You purchase the coffee, you drink the coffee, you have a coffee high, and then you crash...just hopefully not before your exam.

5. Actual studying.

It's the night before the exam and now, it's time to put your game face on and actually study, like in full force.

6. Confidence.

As you close your books and walk out of those library doors, you realize you can do this...maybe.

7. Sleep (maybe).

You HAVE to get some sleep before your exam, but you should also get some last minute studying done. Decisions, decisions.

8. Panic....again.

Sitting at your desk right before your exam, everything you've ever learned just seems to fall out of your head with every panic-filled breath.

9. Relief.

With each and every final you finish, the more relieved you feel. Just one less thing to worry about.

10. Freedom.

Now that you've finished all your exams you can celebrate...or hibernate...whichever.
