Somehow, the last few weeks of the semester have flown by and finals week is fast approaching. The stress, the piles of work, the all-nighters; it's all overwhelming. Don't worry, we're all here with you, and in a few days that elusive summer break will be here! Here are the 11 stages of finals week as told by the cast of Netflix's Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.
1. Denial
But don't fool yourself, no matter how much you deny it, your tests are still coming.
2. When you can put it off no longer, prepare to study
Note: This process can take anywhere from 10-10,000 min. depending on your commitment to procrastination. I personally prefer studying in a sweatshirt and sweatpants, preferably of mismatched colors, with my hair in a top knot and my glasses glued to my face.
3. Consider dropping out
Yes, I've been there too. But seriously, it will be worth it in the end. Focus on those dollar signs, future job security and freedom!
4. Stress eat
While I prefer potato chips, I've known some to reach for cookie dough, chocolate kisses and even peanut butter. Whatever your food of choice, make sure to stock up on a bunch before the real studying begins!
5. Realize you have no idea what you learned all semester
Whether it's the teacher that doesn't "believe in power points" or the teacher who drones on and on during lectures, find a good study buddy and power through!
6. Have you friend talk you down from your mental breakdown
A little stress cry never hurt anyone. Get it out of your system and back to the books!
7. Walk around delirious from your all-nighter
Coffee is your best friend.
8. Realize you don't have anything to eat since you've been busy studying
Candy will do!
9. Wallow in your misery
While finals aren't quite as traumatic as Kimmy's bunker kidnapping, they are cause to believe your imminent death. But don't worry, you can be reunited with your bed in just a matter of hours!
10. Finally, sit down and really start studying
We all know the feeling of waiting until the absolute last minute and cramming the semester's worth of information into our brains. Just remember it's a short test, grades don't define you and summer break is so close! #CrunchTime
11. Go in and destroy your finals!
You got this! Just a few more tests and summer will be here! Sun, beach and sand are calling your name! Oh, and your bed! Make sure to watch both Season 1 and Season 2, just released, of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt this summer! Congratulations on completing another year's worth of assignments and tests! We survived!
