And just like that, spring semester is over. For those that are graduating, well done and congrats! You've done it and we are so proud! Hats off to you!

For the rest of us, we still have ways to go, especially since Finals Week has reared its hideous face.

We're all feeling the same way when it comes to finals week: stressed, exhausted, and just waiting for it to be over with. Stroz is going to be packed, the line to get in equivalent to the line for happy hour, so it's best to get yourself prepared beforehand.

We're basically experiencing the five stages of grief.

1. Denial.

We refuse to believe that it's finals week. There's just no way it's happening. Spring Break was yesterday, right? But, here it is, right in front of us. We're still going to pretend we have plenty of time to procrastinate, though.

2. Anger.

Can't believe you left everything for the last minute? Missing a handful of assignments? Sudden despair and anger? Must be finals week. We're so angry that it arrived so quickly and we're not prepared, at all.

3. Bargaining.

All of our professors have said "don't come to me the day before finals and ask me for extra credit," and we've already come up with the perfect way to bargain with them. We need to curve that 67 to an 82. And we'll do as much extra credit as possible, even if it kills us.

4. Depression.

It's so hard to cope with our failure. We tried so hard to procrastinate and put everything off until the last minute, now it's the last minute and we're screwed. It's time to cry and down a bottle of vodka until it's all over.

5. Acceptance.

Now, we have no choice to accept our fate. We can't hide from finals week anymore, we can't avoid it, we just have to face it. Accept the results and learn from it for next semester, when we plan on doing it all over again.
