Well folks, it's finally that time of year again. And no, I'm not talking about PSL season, you basic white girls. No, not yoga pants season either, you helpless, thirsty college boys. I am talking about a college student's most stressful time of the semester: midterms. I know, I swear that Welcome Weekend was just last week...*cries a little bit inside.* As I'm sure that both you and I are procrastinating this very second on accomplishing our seemingly never-ending to-do list. Here are 26 ways the "Friends" cast perfectly captured how you're feeling right about now into the semester.
1. When your friend tells you they have a 4.0.
2. When you feel the stress of midterms rapidly approaching.
3. And you're trying your best to keep everything under control...
4. ...but really you feel like your head could explode at any second from all the knowledge you've been cramming into your brain.
5. So tensions are high anywhere you go.
6. When your roommate asks you to help them study when you haven't even started studying yourself.7. When you see your professor outside of class...
8. ...and you can't decide if you should disguise yourself so they don't recognize that you're out instead of studying...
9. ...or if you should say hi and brown-nose in hopes of them giving you hints about what will be on their midterm.10. When you stay in to study and can hear everyone partying at the bar next door.
11. Or when your drunk roommate comes home from being out because they're done with midterms.
12. When you finally sit down to study, but your notes make zero sense.
13. When you're the only one in your study group who didn't know the answer.
14. But when you finally get a question right in your group study session.
15. You can't help but make sure everyone around you knows that you're the one who got the answer.
16. When you give up studying and convince yourself that you've done all that you can do to prepare, while trying your best to stay optimistic until the time of your test.
17. When you're walking past the bar on the way to your exam and your drunk friends are cheering you on.
18. When you sit down at your desk and are amped (mostly from Red Bull and coffee) for the test to begin, anxious to apply all of the knowledge you crammed into your head the night before.
19. Then you start to read through the questions and suddenly feel like a rock star because you somehow know most of the answers.20. When you finally walk out of your last test, realizing that all that's left for you to do now is wait for your grade to be posted.
21. But when you get home, you can't remember which answer you put on that one question.
22. When the anticipation of waiting for your midterm grades to be posted is killing you.
23. The next class, your professor finally announces the class average...
24. ...and you find out you somehow managed to pull out an A on a test you thought you bombed.
25. So you throw yourself a party to celebrate.
26. And then you realize that this is only midterms, and that you'll have to do this all over again at the end of the semester.
I wish you all luck and happy studying. But more importantly, remember to always tap into your inner unagi. You never know when the danger of midterms might sneak up on you...
