It’s coming, you can feel it. The week you’ve been dreading all semester, the week you told yourself was over a month away during spring break: finals week. And quite honestly, the weeks leading up to finals are just as bad. All those sleepless nights of preparation for the end of the semester leave you struggling to finish each course with the little energy you have left.

1. Group projects.

Your professor thought a group project would be a fun way for you to spend the last two weeks with other students in the class. In reality, it just means you're going to be spending two to three days with other students that have too much on their plate and are aiming for a passing grade.

2. Final presentations.

Not only do you have to worry about passing all those final exams, but you also get to stand in front of the entire class and be grilled with detailed questions about your research by your professor.

3. Final essays.

Anyone that tells you working on a final essay is easier than studying for a final exam has obviously never had to conquer both at the same time.

4. Registration.

In the midst of preparing for the end of one semester, you must fight to the death against your fellow peers in order to endure this same fate next semester.

5. Reminding yourself that you still have to go to class.

At this point, you're either too tired to pretend to care, too busy with other courses to sit in lecture for an hour, or too behind to even know what's going on.

6. All-nighters.

It is a given that the recommended eight hours will not be reached on any given day the last two weeks of the semester.

7. Not eating well.

Is Pop Tarts dinner? Close enough...

8. And drinking too much coffee.

I'm not sure it's physically possible to get through finals week without caffeine.

8. Not caring how you look.

People start asking if you're ill and you're not really sure how to respond.

9. Three-minute naps are a thing

Others may laugh at the three-minute alarms set on your phone, but that's what's keeping you alive at this point.

10. Anything becomes a bed.

This is no time to get picky.

11. You're so tired that you start laughing hysterically at nothing.

Your life right now is so sad it's hilarious.

12. Everything seems to be due on the same day.

It seems like every professor is out to get you.

13. You have an anxiety attack at least once a day.

You freak out because you don't have time to finish everything. Then you freak out because you're wasting time freaking out.

14. You start doing things that just don't make sense.

No, you're not drunk, just sleep deprived.

15. After days of roaming campus like a zombie, you are so determined to ace everything.

Because cramming a semester's worth of facts into your brain in one week has worked before, right?
