Thanksgiving break has come and gone, but a crucial time period is upon us before we can celebrate the most wonderful time of the year: finals week. Finals have never been my favorite thing, but I felt better when I could relate to a six year old. At least I know I'm not alone

1. First, you're in denial that Thanksgiving break is even over.

2. You get sassy when a professor/advisor suggests you set some realistic goals for the end of the semester.

3. You pretend you know what you're doing in all of your classes when in reality, you're clueless.

4. You get so overwhelmed and stressed that you fall into a permanent state of existential crisis

5. You begin to question who decided it was okay to make you an adult in the first place.

6. You take any kind of break you can from studying; even if it's for exercise.

7. You're in denial about becoming an adult, so you just pretend you're still a kid.

8. Even food can't make you feel better.

9. Then, you get that feeling of victory when you realize you're just days away from being on break...

10. ...but then you remember the 4 papers and 12 tests you have to study for.

11. And it's all going ok until your study group refuses to give you the answers to your Biology final.

12. At last! Your final test arrives, and you have to stand in front of your mirror and give yourself a motivational speech in order to drag yourself there.

13. You're finally home to hug your loved ones and have some much needed time off!!

I know this time of year is stressful, but if Calvin can do it, so can you! Best of luck on all your finals. Just think: soon enough, you'll be able to look back on it and laugh as you sit back, sipping hot chocolate in front of your Christmas tree with people you love. Happy Finals!!
