It’s the most miserable time of the year. Final exams, papers, presentations and group projects begin piling up one after another. It's like your living in a dream, and nothing feels real. You can’t remember the last time you got your full eight hours of sleep, and suddenly you’ve spent more time in the library than in your own apartment. You don’t know how you got here so fast — you thought there was more time in the semester, and then suddenly it's finals week and you literally have no idea how to keep going. You’re strung out on coffee just trying to make it to the library. Here are the ten stages all colleges students experience during this horrible time. You’re not alone; just push through. We’re almost to the home stretch.

1. When you get back from Spring Break and your professor tells you that your final is cumulative, and you literally can’t remember anything from before Spring Break.

2. Then you get the study guide and it's 25 pages long, and you know 100 percent you have never seen half of the material.

3. So you start working and studying for the three exams, two 12 page papers and the presentation you have and someone has the nerve to ask you how your week is going.

4. Then somebody in your class emails you the answers to the study guide.

5. When you go to your professor's office hours begging them to curve your grade, and they say no they don't curve grades.

6. You begin calculating what grade you’ll need to get on your final to pass.

7. When one of your friends has the audacity to talk to you about their life problems.

8. Then you begin stress eating your feelings away.

9. When it’s the day of the final and you still don’t have your life together, and you're running late.

10. Then you're finally done with your final, and the semester is over and you realize you have to start working back home over the summer.

Hang in there friend, we're all in this together.
