Finals week is upon us and who better to turn to for words of wisdom than Barney Stinson? Here are 10 times that Barney understood the struggles we all face during the worst week of the semester:

1. When you start the week confident that you can get everything done.

2. When the work starts piling on and you quickly lose that confidence.

3. When you would give anything for your parents to call the school and protect you from those crazy professors.

4. When you will literally sleep anywhere because you cannot run on the two hours of sleep you got last night.

5. When all of your friends start going home but you have a final on the last day.

6. When the only words out of your mouth are complaints.

7. When you physically cannot look at the material anymore.

8. When the end is in sight and you pull yourself together for the home stretch.

9. When you walk out of your last final feeling like you just conquered the world.

10. When you finally get in the car and speed home for a well-deserved break.
