Tis the season to be jolly! Not quite. Tis the seasons of trying to remember everything academic from the past five months and having a test on it, then it's jolly! We all go through the same stages around this time, here are a few examples.

1. The Planning Stage

This is the stage where we all come up with a plan to have enough time to study a little bit every day. God has blessed you if can actually come through with this plan cause God knows that I can't.

2. The Project/Quiz/Test Stage

Oh, are finals coming? Let's just plan five quizzes and three tests all on the same day! Ooo and a project! This is the mind of a teacher a week before finals, but of course, we should be able to handle it. We can't! So we have to work on our lit project instead of studying for math, it's legitimate.

3. The Attempted Studying

So know we are done with the test, quizzes and project, to sit down and study. You study for about 15 minutes and then the dog has to pee. Ok, that'll only be a minute. And then the laundry isn't done. Gee Mom, trying to get into college here! After that sub-argument, you sit down again to find your sibling screaming about the most irrelevant things. So then you spend forever trying to find a comfortable and sound-proof room. At the end of this whole fiasco, you probably get five pages done.

4. The Exhausted Stage

It's been the longest week and you are trying to keep your eyes open with a cup of coffee at your disposal, but it's not enough. You reason with yourself saying you'll wake up early and study more or that a rested brain retains more. But if you're like me then the plan doesn't go as expected.

5. The Procrastination Stage

At this point your just plain fed-up. And you should be, whose idea was to cram five months of info on one test on five different subjects? What's the point? I just wanna look at Instagram and maybe if I pretend that I don't have a final then it'll just go away. Yeah, I wish.

6.The All-Nighter Stage

You realized that you f***** up and that you don't want to live in your parent's basement for the rest of your life. So it's time for the black coffee and sleep is for the dead!!!

7. THE FINAL

Dun DUN DUNNNN! The day is here and you're screwed and the whole time you're trying to figure out how much your grade is gonna drop. You are not alone my friend, not at all.

Oh well, so you didn't do well. So you are not Albert Einstein and you BFF got a 100 on every final. Who cares? They aren't you. You will be just fine and it is not the end of the world. You made a mistake and you'll do better next time or until you figure out how to. In the long run, you'll be OK.
