Finals week is approaching at a rapid speed, and college students everywhere are neither prepared nor excited for the absolute emotional and mental disaster that our lives are about to become. As any student can tell you, finals are tough and grueling, inspiring long days and sleepless nights. In this constant cycle of exhaustion and over-caffeination, it can become difficult to see the figurative light at the end of the tunnel, which, in this case, is our beloved summer vacation. This difficult time in our lives is hard to explain, but Friends GIFs, like always, express our feelings like no one else can.
When the professor asks you if you are ready for the final:
The pain in your eyes says it all, Joey.
But really, the answer is actually...
My life is a joke, prof.
When you totally forgot about a class or assignment and you didn't plan it into your already packed study-schedule:
We feel ya, Phoebe. This is gonna be pretty rough.
When you realize you have to learn an entire semester of a foreign language in a week:
It's so easy to zone out in class, but now it's time to showcase the skills that I truly do not possess.
When you start to get the study munchies:
You've been up for 36 hours and have consumed nothing but chocolate covered espresso beans, cheap coffee, and fruit snacks. So when your roommate walks in with pizza, all bets are off.
When you have your first meltdown of the finals season:
Laugh all you want at Chandler's pain, but we've all been there, and we'll be there again soon enough.
When you realize you have a far lower grade in the class than you thought:
You thought you needed a 76% to pass the class, but it turns out that you need a 205%. Ross definitely understands the struggle of misinterpreting numbers.
When the studying and reading that you have been putting off all semester start to creep up real fast:
Responsibilities are scary when they pop up out of nowhere.
When you and your roommates and friends have to make a truce so that you can focus for once in the semester:
This semester has been fun, but when finals roll around, it's important to note that emotions are a little bit more rocky, so a funny prank could potentially make someone cry for two hours and make an A test turn into a C test.
When your mom or dad calls to see how you're doing:
Can... not... show.... weakness...
When a sibling leaks to your parents that you did badly on an exam:
All bets are off now, pal. And all the secrets will be told.
When you sit down to take a test and know nothing on it:
"Did I even study for the right class?"
When your roommate has a test that went poorly and you walk in on them looking like this:
How'd that final go?
When it's all said and done, and you managed to pull it all off:
You did it! Summer vacation, here you come!
