1. Midterms are one month away and you're beginning to have a feeling of detachment.

They are just so far away at this point though. I mean, who even studies this early? No one, that's who!

2. They are two weeks away, now you've moved toward a more "nonchalant" attitude.

You've still got time, you know they are coming up eventually but you really don't need to sweat anything yet.

3. Only one week away, you're now at the stage of realization.

These midterms are getting seriously close. But still... not quite close enough to worry — too much.

4. Midterms are two days away, panic is starting to set in.

You're actually thinking about studying now. But you are also instantly regretting deciding to go out tonight. Time to leaf through a study guide while getting ready.

5. They are now tomorrow. You are now extremely panicked.

Maybe you should have skipped out on taking the city and should have taken your notes instead. You can become an expert overnight right? Maybe if you sleep on the notes you will absorb the information! Sleep just sounds so much better right now — maybe just a 10-hour nap?

6. It's now within sight, a few hours away. You have now moved on to the power of praying for a miracle.

If you don't know it now, then you'll never know it, right? You might as well go for coffee instead.

7. After the test is over, acceptance settles over you.

You turn on Netflix and eat an entire gallon of ice cream. You might as well just live with your parents forever if you fail.

Then you move on to the realization that midterms aren't the end of the world. Finals are. So you will definitely go through these emotions with more intensity in a few months.

Good luck on those midterms.
