At colleges across the nation, once empty libraries are now full of students typing furiously on laptops or violently flipping the pages of textbooks, the on-campus coffee shops have run out of caramel macchiatos and the energy drink supply in the campus store is dangerously low. All of this can only mean one thing: Finals are here.

Surviving finals week is one of the biggest challenges many students face. Instead of struggling alone, why not plod along with Emperor Kuzco through this exhausting week?

1. Two weeks before finals when someone asks you how you’re feeling about it 

2. And then the week before finals starts

3. After the first day of finals week, you already look like this

4. And, of course, the dining hall has started serving even worse food

5. Then you start to go a little crazy

6. And get a little too honest with people

7. You do a few really dumb things

8. And have more than one mental breakdown

9. Everything sort of stops making sense

10. And study groups become basically pointless because everyone is easily distracted

11. So you learn to give your best mom face

12. But then your friends just think you’re grumpy and try to cheer you up

13. But it doesn’t work

14. You didn’t even know you could pull this many all nighters

15. When you finally get coffee the next morning

16. Then there is that one friend who finished all their papers ahead of time and is done with finals first

17. What you want to say to every one of your professors when you walk into each final

18. That moment the first test question may as well be in Latin and it’s a math final

19. So you start thinking of excuses for why you need to leave and not take the test

20. But you see a question that you do know from all those long hours of studying

21. Then you finally hand in your last final

22. And burst out the door victoriously 

Now go crush those finals!
