Being a student has its ups and downs, good and bad days. There are a ton of cool things we get to experience without the weighing expectations of being a full-blown adult yet because hey, we’re students. We’re getting a degree. We’re still growing up, but we are certainly not working a full-time job… so we can still have some fun! Now, who else loves Harry Potter?

I thought Harry Potter gifs would be a fun stress reliever. So, let’s revisit these magical movies in a way we all relate to. How many of these have you experienced?

Getting called on in class when you’ve been scrolling through Pinterest for the past hour.

Someone says something dumb in class and you don’t want to be the one to correct them.

Your prof gives your class an extension on an assignment you haven’t started yet.

Waiting for the opportunity to use everything that you’ve learned.

Just when you think you have postsecondary all figured out.
