The final stages are here. You don't know how to express them. They are allusive, tricky. But don't even worry about it - because from the first optimistic reading day to the very last hour minute second of exam cramming, there is a gif for that. That's right. Here are the stages of finals week as expressed through assorted anime gifs. Please, enjoy and revel in the beauty of applicable entertainment.

Denial and Procrastination

You've thought about it. You really have. It just isn't real to you yet.

And then someone has to go and tell you you're short...on time.

Panic Mode No. 1

That essay isn't going to write itself but there are too many essay topics to choose from. All of them sound so great! or - well...maybe great isn't the word...

Oh well, you know what they say about acknowledging weakness.

Compromise

Okay - you can watch one episode of Stranger Things, but that's it. After that it's one solid work day down and you can knock out those Latin declensions in your sleep.

Don't you dare think that's enough to pass the examination though...

Panic Mode No. 2

So you've got that essay kind of written - so like, a few paragraphs with no transitions...

(Thinking about trading your soul yet?)

Reboot

Okay - time out. Break. Food. Water. Sleep. Copious amounts of all because, yes. I know, you've forgotten you've got to do those things on occasion.

Confident Panic Mode

Alright, here we go. Now that you're refreshed, you've got to think about this whole finals thing again.

No, it didn't go away while you slept - not even though it felt like 7 years.

Acceptance

The sooner you pull yourself together the better. You've got it. Just keep going. You can almost see the end.

It is almost over and I'm sure in the end you'll exceed all expectation.

Completion

Hey. Yo. Congrats. It's done. All that hard work paid off for something, huh?

Victory

You should be proud. Clap clap for you. Okay - now...just go chill. Dance it out. Or, you could sleep. Sleep is good.
