For college students, myself included, the two weeks before winter break is the most stressful time of the year. From last-minute tests, homework assignments and moving into the library it's almost impossible to maintain our social lives. Just know if you've thought any of these things during these two weeks, you're not alone.
1. How is it finals week already? It was just summer.
2. It's fine, I'm doing OK in my classes.
Now that it's finals week, it might be time to check your grade portal. Time to calculate what grade you need to get on the final in order to get an A. And then you realize its virtually impossible to score 117 percent.
3. I have to get a good spot at the library, everyone and their mother is going to be there this week.
Time to figure out where the library actually is.
4. Mmm, I studied for about 30 minutes, I think it's time to watch the next episode of that show I'm binge-watching on Netflix.

11. How does my professor expect me to memorize all of this?
100 terms, 50 multiple choice, 50 true/false and five essay questions. I'm basically screwed.
12. I don't know how to do my taxes or any other assets of being an adult, but I know that the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell, so close enough, right?
13. I probably should start my final project, which is due next week. Or just wait until the day before it's due, because who doesn't procrastinate.
14. I got this.
Until you look at the study guide and realize you know less than half the answers.
15. Finals week is finally over and all you can do is:
16. And then you realize that it all starts over next semester:
