The last semester of college is a very exciting time. Everyone from art to engineering is finishing up their final projects, presentations, or theses, showing off the culmination of the last 4+ years of work. What could be more satisfying than getting that diploma at the end of the year?

These GIFs sum up the struggles and triumphs that come along with that last semester of college.

1. When you realize the fees you have to pay just to get your diploma.

2. Talking yourself up for the first week of classes.

3. Listening to professors explain a syllabus you've basically seen 100 times.

4. When the assignments start pouring down around you.

5. When you're too lazy to study unnecessary topics.

6. Talking to your classmates about assignments no one has started.

7. In fact, you're hitting new records of laziness.

8. Asking your roommate to condone your lack of motivation.

9. The never-ending question, "What are you going to do after graduation?"

10. But finding a great job isn't so easy.

11. When you don't know how to start on the most important paper of your college career.

12. When you walk out of your last exam ever.

13. Now you're on to graduation!

Congratulations, Class of 2017. We're almost there!
