Missed : Missed periods are very common. A major factor is stress/anxiety. It sounds like this is definitely an issue for you (finals, stressful ten hour drive), this can easily explain your missing period. Other causes are recent weight gain or loss, hormonal imbalance, medications, and pregnancy of course. Once you relax and settle in back home i'm confident your stress and anxiety levels will decrease and your period will resume. Good luck.
