Oh, FAFSA. For those of you who don't know, FAFSA is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. It's what decides how much federal aid you get toward college tuition. Most people love it or hate it, but everyone hates waiting for their award summaries. Here are 8 Harry Potter GIFs that perfectly depict emotions about FAFSA.

1. Filling it out and getting annoyed with how tedious it is

2. Finishing and submitting it like

Thinking that if you wish hard enough, that you'll get more aid than you did last year, even though you probably won't.

3. Getting an email saying that a piece of information you entered isn't right

Just when you think you're done with it for the year, it's back again.

4. Waiting 6 months for the email saying your awards are ready

Especially when other schools have already gotten theirs.

5. When you finally get that email

After months of waiting, your (im)patience has finally paid off.

6. But then seeing you got less aid than you did last year

Tuition is the same as last year, so why would you need less money this year?

7. Or getting more than you did last year

The financial aid fairy paid you a visit and you're feeling #blessed.

8. But, at least it's over

Until 6 months later, and the process starts all over again. Until next time, FAFSA!
