College is all fun and games until the end of the semester just creeps up on you out of no where. All the projects, papers, and the studying for finals that you have been putting off for weeks are now starting to pile up and you have absolutely no idea how you're going to make it to Christmas break. The end of the semester slump is brutal there is so much to do in so little time with even less motivation than you had in the beginning of the year. The best way I can explain the end of the semester slump is with the help of the cast of the Netflix show Stranger Things because nothing is as scary as a Demogorgon...except for finals. If you haven't seen Netflix's newest show Stranger Things you may not be able to relate to Chief Hopper, Eleven, Dustin, Mike, Will, Lucas or any of the other cast members, but if you've lost all motivation to finish off this school semester then don't worry you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.

1. All-nighters.

Nothing says end of the semester slump like trying to pull an all-nighter and falling asleep only to wake up feeling completely lost. We may not have gotten knocked out for breaking into a lab like officer hopper, but towards the end of the semester we still wake up everyday in a panic wondering what day it is.

2. Food? What food?

The end of the semester slump means not only are you running out of food, but you're also running out of money to buy that food. So now you've turned to cheap frozen foods. Eventually you take on Eleven's technique and just eat Eggos straight out of the box because you're too lazy and hungry to waste time putting them in the toaster.

3. Coffee and contemplation

Chief Hopper may not be somewhat sarcastic, but he does make a good point with this one by perfectly describing the last few weeks of the semester waking up to drown yourself in coffee and contemplating whether or not you should even go to class.

4. Procrastination is *key*

If you've never procrastinated and waited until the last minute to get your group project done your end of the semester slump isn't all that bad, but for the rest of us we are left to improvise and sometimes the best we can do is a power point or a quick little arts and crafts project with a paper plate and a pencil, whatever gets the job done.

5. Overthinking everything

Nancy may have been thinking about Barb's whereabouts, but in this gif she perfectly displays the face we make after a test we are almost sure we failed. A mix between overthinking, worrying, and oh well. A very common face during the end of semester slump.

6. "So stupid."

Speaking of Barb, she gets the end of the semester slump! The end of the semester is frustrating, and in the words of barb "so stupid." #JusticeForBarb

7. Realizing you know nothing on an exam

Eleven perfectly displaying the face we make when we are taking a test and have no idea what the answers are. The end of the semester is a drag *sigh*

8. Patience doesn't exist

Towards the end of the semester our patience with people just seems to drop to an all time low. Everyone just becomes mouthbreathers and we just can't take it.

9. All you need and want is a hug

When you finally make it to the end of the semester and all you need is a hug. If you're hitting your breaking point don't worry Stranger Things feels your pain and we'll get through this end of the semester slump together.
