From pulling all-nighters, 400 group text messages and working with so many different personalities, group projects serve as a way to prepare you for the real world while also making you crumble under stress and pressure. While some of us thrive under some of these fast-paced deadlines, others dread it with every fiber of their being. No matter what side of the spectrum you’re on, there are some things we all can agree on.

1. When you need to have a group of a certain number but are missing a person

Also known as the bane of your existence. You hope that your group doesn’t get split up the in the process. Why is finding this one last person so hard?

2. Setting soft deadlines and missing them

Basically, this is you trying to be responsible and then just giving up instead. We’ve all been there and we’ve all regretted it.

3. Staying up all night to tie up loose ends

Going to bed at 2 a.m. after finishing up the final parts of the PowerPoint? Waking up at 7 a.m. to make sure the written report has no typos? If you haven’t done this did you really go to college?

4. When that one person in the group chat is not responding

This may or may not cause a slight meltdown. It all depends on your role in the project. If you’re the leader you’re freaking, if not you’re just trying to get through the project with all of your sanity in check. Don’t be this person.

5. Watching people finish their part of the project an hour before it’s due

If you are this person, you stress people out. No one wants a bad grade but at the same time, no one wants to do your part of the project. We've all got stuff to do, but at least get your part done at a reasonable time.

6. Getting the peer evaluation form and not knowing what to do

On one hand, you want to give everyone an A because you feel bad. On the other hand, you want to give the slackers a piece of your mind.

7. Working on your part of the project and realizing you have no idea what you’re doing

Life motto: fake it till you make it.

8. Having project meetings and getting distracted

Sometimes watching cat videos and talking about how much you hate the project is more important than working on the project itself.

9. When you get time to work on the project in class and don’t use it

You always wish that you’ll get time in class to work on your project, but when the time comes you find yourself re-watching "Moana" and catching up on your Instagram feed.

10. Finishing the project and waiting for your grade

The good news: you made it. The bad news: if you don’t get at least an 85 on the presentation your A is going to drop to a B. Hands down, one of the worst college waiting games.
