Finals are coming around and that means studying around the clock. Whether you like it or not, this is the time to get your study on and work for the final grades you deserve! With studying comes the unfortunate and dreaded all-night study sessions. All-nighters might be the death of you at the moment, but I promise you'll make it through.

1. Starting off strong.

You've got all of your study tools set up and that red bull on the table. Its crunch time and honestly you feel invincible at this point! Exam who? Nothing is going to come in between you and acing that test!

2. Realizing how much work there is.

Honestly, it only takes about 5 minutes before you realize exactly how much work there is to do and then the anxiety kicks in. If you're anything like me, you start to divide up your time in your head so you make sure you study every single chapter for the same amount of time!

3. Writing out more study guides than humanly possible.

With each chapter comes a new study guide. Writing out an outline for each chapter and getting all of the information down in the struggle. By the end, you've probably killed more trees than anyone else in the school.

4. Losing motivation.

Honestly, at this point do I even care if I get a good grade on the test? Oh yeah, that's right....my whole GPA is riding on this one class!!! If I have to look at another darn communication theory that I don't care about I'll lose my mind! This is my end...

5. Getting your second wind.

Obviously, after a well-deserved study break you're back in this and stronger than ever! Why did I ever doubt myself, I have so much energy and this exam will be a piece of cake!!

6. Realizing what time it is.

That clock keeps ticking and before you realize it, it's 3 A.M. and you realize that this it. You've gotta dedicate your whole night to this exam because you're too far in to turn back now! So chug that coffee and get back to business!

7. Stressing out and almost giving up.

Yeah, I take back what I said in #5...there is NO WAY this exam will be a piece of cake! I will definitely fail, which means retaking a class. And retaking that class means more money and I get left behind and my schedule will get messed up and I won't graduate on time. UGH! Keep breathing, somehow I'll make it through...

8. Losing your mind.

My brain has turned to mush. I can't remember a single thing that I've been studying for the past 6 hours, but that's totally fine! I don't even know what time it is or honestly what I am studying anymore. All I know is I just want to give up and sleep!

9. Taking an eating break.

Food breaks are a must. It's about 6 A.M. at this point and I need breakfast. Oh wait, no dining halls are even open! Well, McDonald's trip it is! Refuel and keep grinding! Nothing is going to stop me!

10. Going to take the exam.

Well, the test is here! Somehow I made it to this point, and I couldn't tell you how! Fingers crossed that I know this material because I didn't spend 8+ hours on this for nothing! That all-nighter took my soul but hey, at least I'll ace this exam!
