18 Stages of Finals Week As Told By 'The Office'

Nothing terrifies a college student more than just two words: finals week. They are on the horizon, which means cramming, late nights, and a lot of emotions. The office workers at the paper company Dunder Mifflin understand the struggles better than anyone else. These are the 18 stages of Finals Week as told by The Office

1. The realization that finals week is quickly approaching.


You feel a little anxious, but you know you can probably just study a little here and there. You'll come out fine.

2. Preparing yourself to start studying...


But instead you watch Netflix, because you convince yourself that you have plenty of time to study.

3. And a nap is definitely what you need.


You deserve this! You've worked so hard this semester, and a nap will only help your productivity, right?

4. It's almost here, and you don't know anything.


Why did I skip all those lectures? Why did I just doodle and not take notes?

5. Research on alternative career paths begins.


I don't need a degree for that...or I could live in the wilderness.

6. Mustering any ounce of motivation.


If you just crack down and start studying, you'll be fine.

7. Reason with yourself. Bargaining any type of deal that looks even a little motivational.


"Okay, if I finish this page I can watch a cute video of dogs."

8. Study time!


Finally, after all this, a book is open and so is your mind.

9. An unhealthy addiction to coffee and 5 hour energy is quickly developed.


Or pretty much anything else to keep you awake. What is sleep?

10. Complete panic.


"This wasn't covered in class? How do they expect us to know this? I'm going to have to teach myself."

11. Crying ensues.


Who told you college would be fun?

12. Almost anything can distract you.


Social media, your pencil, staring out the window...

13. You finally snap out of it and get back to work.


"Come on! I can do this. I need an A!"

14. Reality sets in.


"Alright, maybe a B?"

15. You finally get into a groove the day before the final.


You cram like no one else has crammed before.

16. Failure is accepted.


Might as well live it up, because you're going to fail.

16. It's the day of the test.


You actually know way more than you thought you did...that's weird.

17. Walk out of there feeling some type of way.


Whether it's relief, disappointment, or anxiety, it's all over.

18. You promise to never procrastinate again...


Until next semester.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
