Finals week means three things: no sleep, copious amounts of coffee and almost guaranteed tears shed. Don't worry, Schmidt has #beentheredonethat

Even if your tests seem like the worst thing in the world right there, things could be worse.

It was Schmidt who once said: "The economy stinks, bees are dying, and movies are pretty much all sequels now."

1. When you're feeling motivated:

This is what I waited all semester for. Crunch time. I will pause studying only to eat, sleep and shower. A's. You are solid gold, baby.

2. When you get your first exam:

The last time I saw this was in January. How does my professor expect me to remember that? Is everyone else as confused as me right now? Is this setting the tone for the rest of the week?

3. When coffee is no longer strong enough to keep you awake:

I was never meant to live like this and we both know it. Studying all day, every day? Four tests in one week? As if I'm some kind of a machine?

4. When you resort to making excuses:

Mom, I couldn't focus on four exams even if I wanted to. We Sagittarius' are very prone to distractions? Is it in the stars? I didn't choose this.

5. When your friends see you in class after pulling an all-nighter:

Will anyone notice that this is the same shirt I was wearing yesterday? Seriously, even I can't remember the last time I washed my hair?

6. When the second test isn't that hard:

Is it just me or did that final seem easy? I might make it through this week alive. Like, I'm texting my mom right now. Maybe I should go pre-med? Pre-law? Options are limitless at this point.

7. When your study group wants to leave the library to "sleep" before the final:

We can sleep when we're dead. Dead with high GPA's.

8. When your TA emails saying there will be a curve on the test:

I know I don't tell you enough, or ever, but this is like really special. I'll never see you again, but I mean it when I say I owe you my life.

9. When you've studied all day and are feeling prepared for the next exam:

Sweet, sweet redemption. This is my moment. My first 100 percent on a college final. I can almost feel how proud my parents are going to be of me.

10. And then you actually take the test:

Seriously what was the point of the study guide? Was that some kind of a sick joke? Are my tears large enough to water-log a laptop? Asking for a friend...

11. When you realize you're done with classes for the semester:

All that matters now is that I never have to see that TA who low-balled my essay grade ever, ever again.

12. But then you remember that you are taking a summer class:

Why did I do this to myself?

13. When you calculate your new GPA after finals week:

I had such high hopes in December.

14. And finally, when your parents ask how finals went...

Better luck next time?
