Finals Week As Told By 'That '70s Show'

Finals week, a whole week dedicated to cramming a semester's worth of material into your brain that you don't even remember learning in the first place:

But you spend most of your time procrastinating instead of actually studying.

So you ask your teachers for extra credit, but they tell you they don't believe in doing that.

And your friends ask if you'll help them study, but you know just as little as they do.

So you try to study but all you can think about is one thing.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F04%2F07%2F635955989026920348-1160600636_giphy%2520%289%29.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=776&h=432285c5e70fd9be9b242997222d1060f0889b2a03051f85e81a6c01b29631d1&size=980x&c=2419096763 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F04%252F07%252F635955989026920348-1160600636_giphy%252520%25289%2529.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D776%26h%3D432285c5e70fd9be9b242997222d1060f0889b2a03051f85e81a6c01b29631d1%26size%3D980x%26c%3D2419096763%22%7D" expand=1]

Suddenly it's the night before your first test, so you're forced to pull an all-nighter in order to make up for all of the studying that you should have been doing.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F03%2F27%2F635947015315702258-1308991470_tumblr_lqryjkkJHw1qkqz25o1_500.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=374&h=5be94b82e1da9200efa99e9a992d63412e52b8b323f037411e3ac0749b39163f&size=980x&c=1299467775 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F03%252F27%252F635947015315702258-1308991470_tumblr_lqryjkkJHw1qkqz25o1_500.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D374%26h%3D5be94b82e1da9200efa99e9a992d63412e52b8b323f037411e3ac0749b39163f%26size%3D980x%26c%3D1299467775%22%7D" expand=1]

And you text all of your friends to wish them good luck with their finals.

It's time to get ready to take your first test, but all you can think about is how comfy your bed is.

And you debate if it's even worth going to at all.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F04%2F07%2F6359559915129095222032229074_giphy%2520%2810%29.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=60&h=9167812e0ec2ca81c16192abfda2ac1c75c884ab93958050aea887764b875fa7&size=980x&c=3211082227 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F04%252F07%252F6359559915129095222032229074_giphy%252520%252810%2529.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D60%26h%3D9167812e0ec2ca81c16192abfda2ac1c75c884ab93958050aea887764b875fa7%26size%3D980x%26c%3D3211082227%22%7D" expand=1]

So you try to pump yourself up.

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F04%2F07%2F6359559793192790501577995828_tumblr_lry4qjh5yt1r3ts7lo1_500.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=214&h=5fdbcadf0df784b2c1dd9528c88e25d61ef5276480c7a23adcfb1a8a0ec9c237&size=980x&c=230534933 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F04%252F07%252F6359559793192790501577995828_tumblr_lry4qjh5yt1r3ts7lo1_500.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D214%26h%3D5fdbcadf0df784b2c1dd9528c88e25d61ef5276480c7a23adcfb1a8a0ec9c237%26size%3D980x%26c%3D230534933%22%7D" expand=1]

But then you walk into the lecture hall, and you can tell that everyone feels the exact same way that you do.

Then you open up your test and suddenly you don't remember a single thing.

You contemplate if there's any possible way that you could cheat off the person next to you, but your teacher is staring you down.

And you think about how screwed you would be if you got caught cheating.

Then everyone around you starts to get up and you wonder how the hell they've finished already.

So you sit there and pray that your teacher will feel bad for you and at least give you points for writing your name down.
