Midterms Week As Told By Kanye

Brace yourselves folks, because week four for quarter system students marks the start of midterms that don't end until dead week. (Honestly, whoever created the quarter system should be guillotined). The start of week four is basically the start of my never-ending tears, anger, frustration and coffee cups. And who best to depict my pain and feelings towards midterms than Kanye West?

You're in the first two weeks of school, straight chilling, not phased by the upcoming stress of midterms:

But then your parents ask you when your first midterm is and you're like:

So you check the syllabus and realize your midterm is a lot sooner than you thought.

So you decide to actually attend class, but then you realize you're in too deep and everything your professor is lecturing on is gibberish to you.

So you shift into maximum overdrive and try to learn, study, and memorize the five chapters of work you've been replacing with Netflix.

After all the cramming you can do, you feel as confident as you can be for the midterm. So you go in full of life, hopes and dreams, ready to make that midterm your b*tch looking like:

But then you read the first question of the exam and you're like:

And realize that you're totally f*cking screwed.

Until you hear your friends talking about answers you didn't even relatively get close to and you go from being carefree and happy again to:

OK, so maybe not everybody gets a happy ending like Kanye and can ace all their last-minute-cramming midterms, but at least you know you're not the only one suffering from midterms. Kanye's got you.
