Dead week is upon us. For those who are unfamiliar with the term, let me explain. Dead week, the week before finals, is a college student's worst nightmare; for many, it's worse than finals week. All those final term papers, last minute assignments, group projects, presentations and anything else is due like right now. Not to mention the predetermined agony you feel preparing to study for finals week. You get little to no sleep at all, and you are living off of coffee and whatever junk you food you have stashed in your room. To help show the intensity of dead week, I've recruited the very witty and wise Madea.

1. Your initial self pep talk going into dead week.

2. When Netflix is more appealing and you have to get tough with yourself.

3. When you decide to face the bear and ask your professor for extra credit.

4. When a fellow classmate goes in after you after the professor told you no.

5. When you're in the library and overhear someone bragging about not having finals.

6. When someone suggests to lay off the coffee.

7. When your alarm goes off at 6 a.m. and you just laid down after an all night paper writing session.

8. When dead week is finally over.

9. And then you realize it's finals week.

Good luck to every college student during the worst two weeks of the semester!
