1. You return from Thanksgiving break filled with knowledge, ready to destroy every exam and paper coming up.

2. You sit down to do your homework, but quickly realize how much your lack of planning and procrastination throughout this semester has haunted you.

3. As the days go by, you acknowledge all of the finals you have yet to study for, but don't actually acknowledge the effort you need to put in to study for them.

4. When it's finally crunch time, you crack open your books and realize your very limited knowledge of the subject at hand.

5. Office hours with your professor are awkward when you've fallen asleep in most of her classes.

6. You become more and more despondent the closer your finals get.

7. Crying during all-nighters becomes a regular occurrence.

8. You start to wonder if you can vanish and escape from your problems.

9. But when you pass in that last final, you learn to love again.

10. And once you crawl back into your bed at home, sweatpants and all, you realize that the pain was worth it.

Happy winter break! Don't get too crazy!
