The 14 Stages of Taking Finals, as Told by Adele

Winter break feels like such a difference between us, and a million miles (away).

1. You get back from Thanksgiving break and start looking for your motivation like:

2. And then your teacher lets you know that there will be a final exam and a final paper, because it’s the season of giving, after all.

3. So you go to Office Hours for the first time, hoping that the professor will finally realize that you are the hardest worker in the class and that at this point you will do anything to save your grade.

Peace out, first semester! You won’t be missed.
