Step 3: Try to read said books as fast as possible. Two chapters should be enough to write a paper, right? Alternately, SparkNotes.

Step 4: Know that you probably won’t sleep for the entire week. Invest in cheap coffee by the bucket.

Step 9: Stake out a space in the library, preferably next to an outlet. Get your bitch face on whenever someone is talking.

Step 10: Hear people in library having mental breakdowns, understanding where they are coming from. Commiserate and take relief in the fact you aren’t crying…yet.

Step 11: Realize you forgot your laptop charger at home. Give up, decide no work is being done and you’re destined to fail and live a life of mediocrity.

Step 12: Look at the final review sheet, don’t understand any of it, and know that you are screwed.
