Whether you're a freshman or a sixth-year senior, you've gotta take finals. These finals will either crush you or you'll crush them, but please take five minutes of your time to procrastinate and read this article (I procrastinated by writing it, too).

1. When you think about all of the tests and work you have to turn in:

Chug an iced latte and get to work.

2. Your friends having your back when you walk into your worst test:

Even though they may be stressed as all hell, finals week is where you see who your true friends are.

3. When you have to write your name on your scantron:

Sleep deprivation and over-stimulation are not a good combination (rhymes).

4. Walking into your final overconfident...

Dress for the grade you want, not the grade you have?

5. …to later have your soul crushed by its unexpected difficulty:

The study guide was 1/4 as hard as the actual test, and about half of the class is groaning the entire time. Hands are raising every two minutes. This has turned into a war zone.

6. Eating away your misery after you bomb that cumulative exam:

Why, yes, I DID just eat an entire pack of Oreos. Have I eaten anything else today? No.

7. Telling your friends it will all be fine, but inside you’re DYING:

In hopes that your own good vibes may calm you down as well. After all, how important is one test score? (It's very important, BTW.)

8. Getting back your grades:

Whether you're disappointed by an A- or a B-, not all report cards are created equal.

9. Walking out of the semester seemingly emotionally unscathed:

Hey, at least you survived.

10. Immediately jumping into summer shenanigans once your final paper/ test is turned in:

The transition from school mode to freedom mode is a quick and dangerous one.

11. And if you’re a senior…realizing life starts now:

Just don't ruin the graduation like Lizzie and you'll be fine, right?
