So, it's October, and despite all the pose-able skeletons hanging out in people's yards and the brave excursions into local haunted houses, I think we all know that the spookiest aspect of this month is- you guessed it- midterms. Midterms aren't necessarily as vital as final exams but they still account for a hefty chunk of your overall grade, which can instill fear in the hearts of even the most courageous of students. Sticking true to Halloween spirit, I've compiled a series of horror movie GIFs that probably sum up your feelings towards midterms.
