It's crunch time, friends. It's the week before finals week. At my college, we call it "dead week," but "dead" is an understatement, to be quite honest. The worst part of this dreaded is week is all of the group projects. If you're lucky, you might be in a good group once in your college career, but usually we're not all that lucky. Here's the 13 stages of group projects.

1. Seeing the words "group project" and "worth 70 percent of your grade" in the syllabus.

This horrendous moment obviously happened months ago, and you should've dropped it then, but, unfortunately, you need this class to graduate.

2. Exchanging emails and phone numbers with the other group members.

All right, this seems fine. They seem nice! I was skeptical at first, but they seem like good people. Maybe this is my group. This is the one group where I won't be let down!

3. You make the Google Doc and share it with everyone so they can add their part. You assume this will go smoothly.

You have the sections color-coded and clearly labeled with each person's name. They can understand this. Anyone can. There's no way anyone couldn't follow this format.

4. Then the first text rolls in.

One of your group members doesn't understand what a Google Doc is. You explain it. You let it go. You think "Oh, simple mistake! Anyone could get confused." You rest easy, thinking everything will be fine. You have time. Everything will be made clear at your group meeting tomorrow.

5. The gang's all here. Except one person. That one person sends a text saying that they forgot that they had another group project meeting today.

So you didn't know this when we planned this meeting less than 24 hours ago? Interesting, a senior who clearly doesn't care about anything anymore and thinks you can get away with not doing anything, very interesting.

6. Then there's always that one super creepy group member who just hits on you the entire time.

I realize that we casually see one another a few times a semester, but that doesn't meant that I want to date you. No, it's not because you're ugly or because being nice means that I was leading you on. It's because you're sketchy, and I'm not interested.

7. Not to mention those two people in the group who have prior drama with one another and let it affect the entire group.

Then they both text you talking trash about the each other, and it's a literal hot mess.

8. Thank God for that one person in the group you've actually become friends with.

Misery loves company, and you just get each other.

9. You and your new-found friend take on the entire project the night before it's due while the rest of the group is nowhere to be found.

You knew this was going to happen. It was inevitable, but luckily at least one other person cares enough to help you complete the project.

10. The stress eating is real.

Suddenly you order three pizzas, a bucket of fries, six 2-liters, and 50 chicken wings. You black out in a food coma. You're not sure what has happened, or why your bank account is now in the negatives.

11. You wake up the morning of the project, and you're not a praying type, but you're praying for any type of higher power to get you through this presentation.

"Dear Lord, hear my prayer.. please don't let me kill anyone today. Amen."

12. At least one member doesn't show up to the presentation.

You were expecting this. Be honest. Good thing they didn't do anything anyway, so you're totally prepared to present their portion.

13. You somehow make it through the presentation and, luckily, you never have to speak to these awful people ever again.

I wonder how much cash it will take the bribe the professor for an A.
