As this school year comes to an end, it's not quite over until finals week. This week of stress, tears and studying is a week from hell if you ask me. With summer right around the corner, getting through it is the struggle.

1. Coffee becomes your best friend

Even if you don't like coffee normally, during finals week it is a necessity. Staying up all night studying and having enough energy to get out of bed the next day is even more of a challenge than normal. Thank God for coffee for helping us all survive.

2. Your brain feels like it is going to explode

When all of those hours of studying catch up to you and your brain feels like its going to explode, that's when you know you need to take a nap.

3. Motivation

It comes and goes, but even minutes of strong motivation can make all the difference during your final.

4. Feeling prepared for an exam

Hours on hours of studying and you finally feel like you're going to kill it on that exam!

5. Then bombing it

You felt so prepared going into it. But once you start reading the first page of it, you're convinced it's for a different class or maybe it's in another language. It's okay it happens to the best of us.

6. Sleep (or lack of)

With days of work and studying still ahead of you, sleep becomes optional.

7. Studying

You do it all the time but during finals week you forget how to study completely.

8. Napping

Even though you're drowning in work you want nothing more than to take a nap. Set some time aside for one or you'll wake up 5 hours later with a book on your face.

9. Trying to read

Reading so much information can fry your brain. It gets harder and harder to remember what you read, so you reread it over and over again.

10. Distractions

You try your best to stay focused but there always seems to be distractions one way or another.

11. Showers

I know you have a lot to do but please do the rest of your classmates a favor and shower. Nobody wants to smell you the whole time they're trying to take their final.

12. It's here before you know it

You feel like you have all the time in the world to study and prepare for your finals- until you realize they are tomorrow

13. Taking a break

You have to take breaks in order to keep your sanity. You promise yourself just one episode, which turns into six.

14. Dress for success

You slept in that outfit? Who cares, wear it to the final, there's no judgement this week.

15. When it's finally over

That week felt like a year but now it's summer!
