As finals week approaches, students can often fall into a pit of despair. After all, you’re running on low sleep and high stress. It’s prime time for your immune system to quit, your professors pile even more work on top of you and your fragile mental state is ready to shatter into a million pieces.

However, in the midst of all this negativity, sometimes all we need is a little light to break through the fog. Whether you remember this childhood cartoon or not, here is some encouragement from “Avatar: The Last Airbender” for the common phases of finals woes we all struggle with.

1. When you’re drowning but hesitant to reach out for help.

2. When you’re having trouble believing your suffering will ever end.

3. When you don’t think you can ever bounce back from your mistakes.

4. When you need to take a step back and look at the big picture.

5. When you don’t know whether you have it in you to go on.

6. When you need to have a life crisis.

7. When you need a break from your own problems.

8. When you simply need a hug. (Feel free to go seek out real hugs from real people).

So go forth and tackle your finals with confidence! Face your giants and win!
