When I started college, I figured that midterms would be one week of hell in the middle of the semester. Little did I know that midterms actually mean about two months of exams, papers and stress. And no one knows stress better than the always overextended Rory from "Gilmore Girls."

If you're also struggling to see the end of this semester's midterm season, I'm sure you can relate.

1. When you finally check your schedule and realize just how many exams you have coming up.

2. Realizing your friends are all going to be done with midterms way before you are.

3. Having to spend the entire weekend holed up in a library instead of going out or doing anything fun.

4. When your exam starts before 10:00 a.m. and you start to doubt your brain's ability to function.

5. Or even worse, when your exams are at night after a full day of classes and you start to question how much caffeine is too much caffeine to consume in one day.

6. And when your friends try to cheer you up and boost your confidence with compliments, but you know that you are beyond help.

7. Whenever your friends don't have an exam coming up and they invite you to hang out, but you remember how many things you have left to do.

8. Coming to the realization that there are just not enough hours in the day to cram and wondering which basic necessity you have to sacrifice today.

9. After you finally finish your midterms but then someone asks you about finals, your summer plans, and your career goals.

10. But the truth is, as bad as it gets, it just makes it feel so much better when you're finally done!
