When this is all over, I’m taking a three-day nap. If you’re feeling stressed this finals season, enjoy these relatable GIFs that help explain how you’re feeling when words just won’t cut it.

Throughout the stress eating, crying, napping and breakdowns you should be proud of how hard you worked this semester. A grade doesn’t define you, you define you. You are smarter than you were 15 weeks ago and that’s all that matters.
