College finals are a trying time and it's hard to fully grasp the concept of constant stress, tiredness, and the self-doubt that consumes us. It's hard to stay positive sometimes, especially when it's 1:00 a.m. on a Thursday and you're contemplating how your brain can remember & recite every lyric to "Look At Me Now" by Chris Brown, but can't possibly retain the lines for the speech you have to give in 7 hours.

Anyway, I know you're reading this article while you take your 10th study break of the night, so here are some quotes from our favorite movies ad TV series to help you stay motivated and feel empowered through these last few days!
