Ah, midterms (that happen more than once a semester?). Where would we be without you guys? Oh, right. Happy, healthy, and living life to the fullest.

Midterms can be terrifying, especially to freshmen like me who don’t really know what exactly to expect. We’ve heard the rumors and horror stories though. Seasoned upperclassmen groan sympathetically and sigh dejectedly whenever they’re mentioned, professors use a heavier tone that indicates importance when speaking about them...it’s all very grave (much like the place you want to go to after studying so much).

Here are 14 feelings (of many more) that you have, depicted through Spongebob GIFs, as midterms loom ever closer:

1. Scared

What if this test ruins my future?

2. Relaxed

You think you have time, but you really don’t.

3. Existential

What does any of this mean? What is life? What are exams? Do they have a purpose? Do I have a purpose?

4. Confident

This isn’t too hard, you got this!

5. Hopeless

Oh, wait. Nevermind. Everything is not fine and you don't know what to do about it.

6. Lazy

You can’t get yourself to do anything. You'll do it later when you feel "motivated."

7. Proud

You might feel and look terrible after all of that studying, but you’re trying your best, and that’s what matters!

8. Hungry

Brain exercise makes you hungry.

9. Overwhelmed

What even is all of this? Where did this mountain of information come from? Is this even the right language?

10. Panic

Too much stuff to do, no time to do it, everything hangs in the balance.

11. Hysterical

Too much stuff to do, no time to do it, but there’s always room for a good cry.

12. Nervous

You really want to do well, but you aren’t sure you’re ready. What if everything goes wrong? What if you sleep through the exam? What if you studied for the wrong one?

13. Done.

That’s it. No more. You refuse to acknowledge these exams (until the panic cycle begins).

But after you ace it, you feel:

14. Like A BO$$
