For most people, the holiday season brings lots of joy and cheer. College students know all too well that December also brings another season, a season known as Finals Week. Here's some relatable GIFs for all you brave souls with finals week looming as told by Friends.
1. "Your study guides will be posted online so that you can begin working on them over Thanksgiving."
None of us want to spend our Thanksgiving studying for exams. Thanksgivings need to be spent with family and friends, not pencils and pens.
2. "Turn in your assignments. No late work, you had plenty of time over the break."
Whether you side with Ross or Rachel, you absolutely agree that breaks are no time for doing homework.
3. You know that you should be studying, but all you really want to do is sleep.
Naps are a crucial part of surviving finals week, and really any random part of the semester.
4. This is how you feel when you remember that one exam isn't cumulative:
Some professors are just beautiful people who like to give out Christmas presents early in the form of non-cumulative final exams.
This is how you feel when another
There's a long road ahead. So close, but yet it feels so very far.
5. You keep telling yourself that you should really study this time.
But instead, you decide to put it off until tomorrow. Again.
6. "You cannot cram for this test the night before."
That's what they all say. Fortunately for us, they aren't all exactly right.
7. When your friends ask you about a class you took already or need help studying for a test:
Sometimes, we can help with a class we took previously. Other times, it has been completely blocked out of our minds and we cannot help you at all.
8. "Participation and attendance are part of your final grade."
Maybe someday we will learn the value of actually showing up to class.
9. Your feelings after studying for hours:
Sometimes you feel like Ross. Usually, I feel more like Phoebe.
10. When you realize that you have an exam on the very last day of finals week:
You'll make it home, eventually.
11. Your thoughts when you see the first question on an exam:
Good luck on exams, you probably need it.
12. Last but not least, you after that last exam of the week is over:
For better or worse, for failing or for passing. Bring on Christmas break!!
