When I was in high school and I heard my older peers complaining about finals, I thought they couldn't possibly be that bad. Experiencing it now, I know I was very, very wrong. Here are just a few gifs describing my, and many others, experiences with finals week.

1. Avoiding your responsibilities.

2. Then deciding you really need to get it together.

3. When you think you can pull your GPA up last minute.

4. When you realize you can't.

5. But you have no one to blame but yourself.

6. When your professors are all giving assignments at once.

7. When coffee is the only thing keeping you alive.

8. When the coffee isn't cutting it anymore.

9. When people ask "How are you doing?"

10. Asking your professors for bonus points you know you probably don't deserve.

11. "Participation counts."

12. Trying to study for that one class you know nothing about.

13. Finishing the last page of your paper at 11:58 p.m.

14. Staying up until 4 a.m. to study.

15. Looking in the mirror the next morning.

16. Seeing your friends before their finals.

17. Getting the exam and you don't remember anything.

18. When exams are finally over.

There you have it, finals in gif form. Good luck to people that have them coming up soon.
