I love Disney movies, but I always seem to jump on the bandwagon too late. I did not watch Frozen until two years after it was released in theaters, and I finally watched Finding Dory this past weekend as a stress reliever from doing school work. I am little obsessed with it, rightfully so, so please enjoy my take on trying to explain the last few weeks of the semester in Finding Dory GIFs.

Coming back from break like...

When you come back from Thanksgiving Break and you think things are going fine but you actually have a million things to do. The end of the semester hits you like a brick wall that you did not see coming.

Waking up early.

Now, you would think that waking up early would get easier because you have been doing it for about 13 weeks. NOPE. It is not easier. It is a huge struggle and I cringe when my alarm goes off every morning.

Cramming for the final.

What did I even learn this semester? The final is cumulative? It is not multiple choice? It is on the first day of finals week? The stuff we learned today is fair game for the final? I have to cram for these tests while also completing assignments for all my other classes. Sure, I guess that's possible. NOT.

Avoiding sickness at all costs.

Do not get sick during finals week. I repeat, DO NOT GET SICK. This is one of the worst things that can happen and you should try to avoid it. Stress makes you more immune to sickness so try your best to avoid it. Take your vitamins and wash your hands.

Professors that do not give finals.

Professors who do not give finals are the real MVP. They understand that finals are so stressful and cramming a bunch of material that we end up forgetting the second after the final is not worth it.

Drinking too much coffee.

When you seriously consider taking the entire pot of coffee to class in order to make sure you stay awake. Coffee is essential to survive the last few weeks of the semester. It will be your savior.

When you walk out of the exam and remember the correct answer.

It is the worst feeling not remembering the answer to a question while you have the test in front of you but as soon as you hand in your test, you remember it.

When you just have to power through.

When you realize that the only way to survive the semester is to do your best to power through... or in the words of Dory, just keep swimming.

The end of the semester is tough, but just keep swimming and you will survive, even if you forget a few things along the way.
