The end is near. As the semester quickly comes to a close, college students everywhere are having the same emotional breakdowns, violent outbursts and tears of frustration. I, along with most people I know, never fail to ask myself at the end of the semester if I will even make it out alive. The only thing worse than the cruel week of finals is the week before. The week before is the beginning of the end. It is the week where you expect to prepare for the stressful upcoming week, but instead this week is anything but that. This is the week where coffee, sweats, and quick naps are essential. A week to question your mental sanity and how you are going to pull this off. Here is your week before finals as told by the Real Housewives.

Cherishing your last few days of freedom

The weekend before your last two weeks is the time to mentally prepare for the chaos that is about to ensue. These are the few days where all responsibilities are ignored and any chance of being productive is long gone.

Opening your agenda late Sunday night

Knowing you have an unbearable amount of work to do within the next 48 hours, but for some reason can't bring yourself to even look.

Yelling at yourself for leaving everything to the absolute last minute

Why you thought it was reasonable to leave two papers, a presentation, a test and a group project all to the day before will never be known.

Proceeding to have a mental breakdown

Asking yourself, "why am I like this?" This is usually where you think about last week and how much time you wasted on Netflix and pointless Facebook videos.

Finally pulling yourself together

Convincing yourself that you've got plenty of time and that your projects won't even take that long. Telling yourself that you are just overreacting, but deep down you know you're in for a long couple of days.

Getting brand new assignments

As if the week wasn't bad enough, there is always one professor that decides to add on a random assignment for no apparent reason.

Spending every night cramming in the library

Trying not to cry in public and reminding yourself that summer is only two short weeks away.

Handing in your last assignment

Feeling so accomplished and on top of everything while still maintaining at least some of your sanity.

But then realizing finals have not even begun

Is it too late to drop out?

In the end, have no fear because you will make it out mostly alive.
