We've all been through this. It's stressful having to listen to the tiny voice in your head and choose between studying or putting it off until a little later. It is indeed a nerve-wracking emotional roller coaster for all students.
1. April starts and you realize finals week is not too far away.
Like, where did all the time go? But it's OK, I still have some time ... I think.
2. You panic a bit and start getting down to business.
You regret all the lectures you missed and not paying attention in those that you attended. Just thinking of all the material you have to teach yourself is stressful. 
3. But then you come home and take a nap.
Wow, my bed looks so awesome right now. I’ll set an
alarm; a power nap is OK. Yeah right …
4. After your nap, you internally struggle if you should watch one episode of your favorite show.
I deserve a break right? I’ve been going to classes, so now one episode won’t hurt.
5. You let autoplay take over ... for weeks.
Curse the actors and crew for making this
show so amazing. I’ll just find out if he dies or not and then I’ll go study. I
promise.
6. A small part of yourself asks, "Shouldn't you study?"
Hey, it’s probably time you close that browser and open your books instead.
7. You ignore it.
Yeah, yeah. Shut up, I’ll figure it out.
8. It's suddenly the Friday before finals week.
What the heck? How did time fly by like that?
9. You convince yourself you still have time.
It’s OK, I totally don’t hear that clock ticking. I mean, I have three days before Monday.
10. You're determined to study and FINALLY start.
11. For about three hours it goes great.
Yeah! All of this makes sense. I’m so smart.
12. And suddenly, the tree outside your window looks so interesting.
It’s so pretty. It’s like brown and green. Yeah … photosynthesis! I know all about that, because that’s all I learned in college.
13. You force your eyes to go back to your books.
This book was made from trees. What a waste. I shall go save trees so textbooks won’t have to exist.
14. Every once in awhile (or maybe frequently) you take a coffee break or eat snacks.
This coffee is so delicious. I should become a barista.
15. You don't remember what sleep is.
So tired … Must keep eyes open …
16. You start to have a hard time understanding what you're reading.
What does all this mean? Am I going to even know this for my career? What the heck is cyclic AMP for again? 
17. You're on the verge of giving up.
Life sucks. What is life? Can I just sleep and hope for the best?
18. But something motivates you and you're freaking determined.
I must get an A. I do care about my GPA. I’m going to slay that test and make myself proud.
19. You see the stack of books around you and realize it's not possible
On second thought, I’ll just aim for a B. Or a C. 
20. You just don't care anymore.
I just need to pass. Who cares anymore? I don’t. It’s too freaking late. No point regretting now.
21. On the way to the exam, you ponder other career choices.
I wonder how much I’ll get paid to be a stripper? Everything is better than a science major at this point.
22. Before the exam, your friends ask if you're ready.
No, I’m not. Stop asking. Can’t you see it on my face already? Geez. And there goes that girl saying she’s going to fail. Like, shut up. We all know you always do fine on exams, drama queen.
23. The proctors start passing out the test and you can't remember anything.
Why does that packet look so thick? There’s probably stuff on there that wasn’t even on the study guide. Oh my gosh, I’m panicking. Yes, we all know how to fill out the scantron; hurry up before I forget everything! 
24. You see the first question and you're like, "What...?"
I definitely did not see this on the study guide. Curse you, professor. 
25. The rest aren't any better.
I kind of remember this … but what was that
key step to the process again? Ugh, stupid brain. Think. Remember.
26. You tell yourself to calm down.
Breathe. Just breathe.
27. And some of the stuff starts coming back to you.
Oh yeah, brain, keep it up. Pull up that information and give it to me so I can bubble in something! Maybe I won’t fail this test. 
28. With 10 minutes left, you start shaking your legs.
Again, how did all that time fly by? Ugh. I
need to stop shaking my legs. Grandma told me it’s bad luck. And I need luck right now. Ahh, focus! Nine
minutes left now.
29. You turn in your test with a silent but desperate prayer to the heavens.
The professor smiles as I hand her my test. I smile painfully back like, “Please, have mercy on me. Your family will be blessed. I need to get to grad school.” 
30. You go home, glad it's over.
Yay. I shall eat, sleep and then party later.
Screw you, finals.
