It's FINALLY December. You know what that means.

It means that finals week is lurking around the corner. It means that suddenly we have 910493104 things due in two weeks. It means that sleeping will suddenly NOT be an option.

Let's be real. You're probably supposed to be reading the last five chapters of your history book right? Or you're supposed to be finishing that online homework due at 11:59 p.m. right? You're not REALLY supposed to be reading this, aren't you?

Well, I say take a break!

You are probably wanting something to cheer you up or even motivate you, so are some stages of finals week explained by what was once best known to ourselves as the best show on television, "That's So Raven".

1. When your professor starts to remind you that the semester is almost over when it literally started, like, a week ago

2. When you start to look at your agenda and see that you have 4 papers due, 5 exams to study for, and 1 group project all in the same week

3. But then you realize that you can't start mentally breaking down now

4. You decide you need to squad up with friends and start study groups

5. When your family members tell you you're over exaggerating about having too much school work

6. When you're two weeks before the death week and you still can't take your classes seriously

7. When your driving to school the week before Finals week and it hits you

8. When you and your friends realize you can't even leave the dorm or library to eat because you have 92049 things to review

9. When you finally leave the dorm after being locked in your dorm and feel like everything has changed with your absence

10. When you've consumed so much coffee per day that you start to consider yourself to actually be coffee

11. When it's T-Minus 2 days before Finals week begins

12. When the professor gives you last minute chances for some extra credit

13. When it's Actually Finals Week

14. FINALLY LEAVING YOUR FINAL CLASS AND ENDING THE SEMESTER

For everyone out there who is reading this when they are really supposed to be working on their final study guide, I hope I inspired you to go out there and finish this semester as strong as Raven!
