Finals, the time we all dread. Amidst trying to juggle a social life, lack of sleep, exams, essays, and classes, it can be more than overwhelming to juggle this crazy season of life. Thankfully, Elf gets it. Here's 15 feels of finals week before winter break, as told by Buddy the Elf:

When someone asks, "How'd you sleep?"

Anything greater than zero is a good night.

Checking your grades online.

Honestly a lot like being hit by a taxi.

Apologizing to your parents in advance for your GPA.

I'm sorry I ruined your lives and crammed eleven cookies into the VCR

The perfect apology for any injustice, really.

When your professor assigns another assignment on top of your finals schedule and suddenly you're trying to manage 100 responsibilities.

IT'S FINE I'M FINE EVERYTHING'S FINE.

Stress Eating Everything In Sight.

Hungry GIFfrom Elf GIFs

PopTarts, Spaghetti, Marshmallows, Candy Corn….and Syrup.

Kissing up to the professor for the sake of your grade.

Deb, you have such a pretty face, you should be on a Christmas card

Works like a charm.

When someone tells you that finals aren’t that bad.

LIAR.

When your professor gets mad at your class for not turning something in on time

A very angry elf.

Realizing you forgot to do an assignment.

Sheer, paralyzing panic.

Having your sixth cup of coffee for the day.

*Pours in a bottle of syrup for the extra sugar boost.*

Nearing the end and making plans with your friends for when you get home:

Only the essentials.

Crushing the final you thought you'd fail.

#NailedIt.

Failing the final you thought you'd crush.

Buddy The Elf Running into Christmas Tree

*Faceplant, broken limb, sadness.*

Finally being finished.

*Cries*

Self-assuring yourself in the aftermath of finals, verbally and physically.

Now go take a nap and stress-eat some Christmas Cookies. You’ve earned it.

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
