It's that time of year again. Finals week is quickly approaching which means college students everywhere will be depriving themselves of sleep and drinking copious amounts of coffee in an effort to pass their classes. While the students of Hogwarts are probably confused about why muggles call their O.W.L.S. and N.E.W.T.S. "finals" they seem to understand how this week usually plays out.

First you reach the realization that you are soon going to have to give up all of your free time to study for all of your upcoming tests.

Then your teacher tells you that your test is going to be cumulative...

... and you don't think you are going to be able to handle it.

Because you know that you don't remember anything that you were taught at the beginning of the semester.

So you start studying. In fact, you find yourself studying so much that you think your brain is going to explode.

And when people ask you how you find time to sleep, while you are studying so much, you always have the same answer.

All you want is to be celebrating the holidays, but who has time for that when they have finals to study for?

And you are forced to find ways to relieve your stress.

The night before your test you start to think that you know most of the information.

But then you get your test, see the first question and realize it's going to be harder than you thought.

After your last final, you start to tell yourself things to help boost any confidence you have left.

But then you quickly realize that the pain is over and you get to relax over winter break!

Happy Finals Week and just remember, if Harry Potter could defeat Voldemort when he was 17, you can pass your finals.
