Finals Week Explained By Harry Potter

Finals are the bane of a college student's existence. And we're not even at Hogwarts. Instead of Charms, Transfiguration, and Defense Against the Dark Arts, we're taking Algebra, Biology, and all kinds of other stuff. But even though Hogwarts is certainly cooler than any college in existence, we can all relate to these moments when it comes to finals week.

1. There's always a professor who is absolutely infuriating.

Whether it's because they refuse to prepare you for your exam or because they talk to you like you're five, no one can stand them. And forget about expressing your opinion in class. Their word is law, after all.


2. If there's one thing that unites a group of people, it's hatred for a common enemy.

By finals week, you pretty much hate everyone and everything, but you can bond with your classmates one last time by hating a professor together.


3. Study parties with your friends are a must.

You need the emotional support, but mostly you need to keep each other awake.


4. You thought you studied long enough for that exam, but when the teacher lays it in front of you, you realize how very wrong you were.

Time for yet another finals week panic attack.


5. Eating too much is an inevitable part of finals week.

Even if you're not a comfort eater, you'll probably find yourself indulging in more food than you normally would. You need more carbs and calories to get you through all those exams and papers, after all.


6. How are you supposed to study for a cumulative math exam?

If anyone ever figures out the answer to this question, I'm sure the world of college students would love to know.


7. Who's had too much coffee? Me!

And just about every other college student in the world. But odds are, I'm probably going to drink more because there's really no other way to have the energy to study. I wonder if Hogwarts students performed energy charms on themselves during their O.W.L.s and N.E.W.T.s...


8. Unfortunately, you can only drink so much coffee before you crash.

Thankfully, though, everyone is just as exhausted as you, so no one is going to judge you for falling asleep in strange places.


9. Even though you're glad exams are over at the end of the week, you'll miss your friends terribly.

There will probably be some tearful goodbyes, no matter how irritated you've been with everyone for the past week.


10. But mostly, you're thrilled to be finished with all the papers, exams, and exhaustion.

Oh, and you can't wait to leave that horrible professor behind.


11. When you do get home for the summer, it's a relief to finally crash.

If your summer job doesn't start for a few days or even weeks, you'll probably spend most of that time sleeping like a baby.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
