It's so close you can almost taste it: Spring Break 2016. But before you set course for Cancun, home, or wherever you may be going, you've got to make it through the grueling midterm week of the spring semester. It's plagued by papers to write and exams to study for, all while dreaming of that warm and breezy beach you'll be tanning on in just a week. While you may feel as if the world (or at least your professor) is against you in this trying time, there's one person who knows exactly how you feel. His name? Zac Efron.

1. It's the week before spring break, and you're totally chill since you're either going home or hitting up the beach within the next few days.

2. But you crack open your planner and the deadlines wash over you like a tsunami.

3. When you're studying for the exam that’s on the last day before break ...

4. And just as you thought you were finished studying for it, the professor emails to let you know they've changed their mind and decided to make it cumulative.

5. You think you're too busy cranking out that last paper before break to hit the gym.

6. But you end up wasting that time dancing around in that new bikini in front of the mirror listening to Spring Break Pandora radio.

7. And it's then you remember there's only one week left to get that beach bod you meant to start working on a month and a half ago.

8. When you're up so late studying for those midterms, it's as if you and your bed have entered a long-distance relationship.

9. Starving for the junk food in between study sessions.

10. But again, remembering that you need to look good on the beach next week.

"Calories don't count during midterms week" -- it's a thing, right?

11. Let's not forget that presentation you signed up for during the first week of class, and now it's finally crept up on you. But since you'll be rolling out in a few days, you just decide to wing it and hope your classmates don't judge too hard.

12. When your friends ask if you have anything the week following break that you need to study or prepare for while you're off, but your mind's already fixed on your designated relaxation destination.

13. You've pulled an all-nighter to finish that last paper, and as you hand it in to your TA, it takes everything you've got to behave until you're out of the building.

14. Congratulations. Papers are submitted. Exams are finished. Presentations have been given. And now its off to the airport to get your spring break on.
