As the semester begins to wind down and we look forward to the haven that is Thanksgiving break, only one thing stands between us and the glory of Christmas break: finals week.

The worst week of the semester can leave students feeling more stressed out than they've ever been. Here is Michael Scott to help us understand the many different emotions felt during, before, and after finals week.

When you know that finals are coming up but you refuse to believe it:

When you go to the optional study session but you're still clueless:

When you're studying with friends:

When you wake up for that 8 a.m. final:

When your professor hands you the exam:

When you studied really hard for the final but look it over and realize you know barely any of the answers:

When the exam is more than three pages long:

When you forget a number 2 pencil/scantron:

When you start to notice that one person clicking their pen incessantly:

When you are finally done with your finals:

Then you realize that it's the start of Christmas break!

Good luck on finals, everyone!
