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.
