Spring semester is finally drawing to a close, and summer break is about to begin. However, there is one thing that stands in your way: final exams week. This week is often very tough and stressful, and students tend to put unnecessary pressure on themselves by assuming the worst. However, with a positive attitude, a few days of reviewing, and trust in your abilities, finals week should go smoothly. Here is a finals week scenario that is generally played out by students, told by Spongebob Squarepants.

Summer is so close, yet so far

Final exams are approaching, and professors start handing out their assignments and study guides.

You try to be optimistic...

And attempt to remember everything you've learned over the past semester.

Thinking your professor might go easy on you, you sit quietly and hope they say something along the lines of...

"The exam is optional."

"It's a take-home final."

"There will be extra-credit opportunities."

You try to psych yourself up, telling yourself there's only a few papers, exams, projects, etc. standing between you and freedom.

But the moment you pull out the study guides, you realize that you should have started reviewing sooner.

So you have an emotional breakdown in front of your roommate. Or several.

The panic starts settling in.

And the stress-eating begins.

Fortunately, your multitasking-skills reach brand new levels.

You spend hours studying the night before, yet feel like you're getting nowhere.

But you stop to take breaks anyway, because treat yo' self.

The 3am mark is approaching, and things start to get a little weird.

And if you have to read one more page, write one more word, or answer one more question, you might go nuts.

So you finally give in and call it a night.

You put minimal effort into getting yourself dressed in the morning, since you slept-in until the very last possible moment.

And begin walking your class running on what feels like negative hours of sleep.

You receive the exam and instantly regret everything.

Reading the first question makes you a little nervous...

So you start coming up with ways to compromise with your professor.

You resort to writing down whatever you can remember on the essay questions, because partial credit it better than none.

Soon, the answers start flowing.

Finally, after what seems like forever, you go to turn your exam in.

You listen to other students compare answers after the exam is over, and they're not even close to what you wrote down.

So you wait patiently for your professor to post the exam grades while trying to come to terms with your fate.

Final grades get posted, and you realize that all the stress and worrying was for nothing.

Because you absolutely rocked those exams.

Good luck on final exams!
