It's hard to believe we're halfway through the semester. As much as we'd all love to partake in fun fall festivities, there is something darker and more ominous than Halloween approaching: Midterm week. It comes at a different time for every campus, so for those who are preparing for midterms, take a study break and see it from the "Hocus Pocus" perspective. The Sanderson sisters feel our pain.

After pulling an all-nighter or two, you lose all track of time...

Your looks take a toll, too. You go from feeling like this:

To having people tell you this:

Hopefully no one actually calls you ugly, but you haven't been taking the best care of yourself and know others are judging you.

Study groups are a good way to keep your sanity...

But that ship may have already sailed.

Just make sure everyone in the study group has the same information. Because I will fact-check you with the book.

Also, don't be that freeloader who mass-emails the entire class for notes the night before the exam. It's not cool.

Sitting still and studying for a long time can make you pretty sore, so remember to stretch.

Once you hit a certain level of study-exhaustion, loud noises tend to scare you.

And you'll use any good luck charm or superstition to help you on your exams.

On exam day, you set 10 alarms.

Hopefully you're feeling confident going into the test. You might blast your favorite song to pump you up.

The end of midterms is definitely a cause for celebration.

But the only thing you have energy for is sleeping.
