"Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light" - Dumbledore.

That old wizard has some serious inspiration to help get you through finals week. Winter break is the light, and it's upon us soon. But, sadly, a form of hell known as finals (basically Azkaban) has to come first. Harry and the gang feel your pain as they too endured stuDYING for their O.W.L.S. during their time at Hogwarts.

1. When your professors remind you finals are coming up

Seriously gross. I feel you Harry. *gag*

2. Your friends tell you that they have no finals

But how?! They only have projects and papers that were due before finals week. You low-key hate them, but also want to switch into whatever major they're taking.

3. You realize you should've paid more attention in class

Or you should've just gone to class in general.

4. The review sessions and studying are teaching you way more than you've learned all semester

If you would've gone to class or stopped scrolling through Instagram during class, none of it would be brand new information.

5. Never ending studying feels

You've lost count of how many hours you've spent at the library, and it's pretty much the most depressing thing that has happened all semester.

6. You and your friends become delusional from all of the studying

It's 3 a.m., you've lost focus, and you can't stop laughing because at this point you've basically lost all sanity. It's alright, we've all been there. Just laugh the pain away.

7. You see everyone having fun without you because they're done with finals

Lucky them! You're just a bit angry that they get to frolic through the snow while you're trapped inside cramming for exams.

8. You block yourself out from the world because studying is life

Save the GPA and don't look away from the books. Talk to no one and barricade yourself in a quiet study spot away from the outside world of fun. This week has no time for fun.

9. When you calculate how bad you can do and still pass the class

It has come to the point where you no longer care about getting an A. You're only goal is to pass the class.

9 3/4. Stress eating

Because calories don't count during finals, right?

10. Walking into finals

You're nearly dead from the all-nighter you just pulled and on the verge of yet another mental breakdown. But the time has come to take take the test.

11. Seeing kids who haven't been there all semester

Are you in the right place? Since when are you in my class? Basically, the kids who show up for exams and nothing else.

12. Looking at the first question

Looking at your friend in class and realizing you're both screwed. Here's to winging it.

13. Walking out of finals

You may have just bombed it, but at least it's finally over. You have no master. You are a free elf.

14. Realizing that you're finally free

Walking out of your last final might be the best feeling in life. Time to break out the egg nog and relax.
