Finals Week Told By Michael Scott
Business News Daily

Dead Week, as defined by urbandictionary.com is " at any major college or university, the week before finals are administered and most major projects and assignments are due for submission. The late night working and hardcore studying for finals gives the students a zombie like atmosphere, and causes an eerie silence and many blank, unseeing expressions." If you're a college student right now and you're reading this, you know this definition is spot-on with what actually happens. Guys and girls walk around campus with coffee cups, sometimes in both hands, there might as well be fights for the computers and seats in the libraries, and the struggle of calculating the grade you need on your final to pass the class has never been more prevalent. I may have some good news for you though, so just bear with me. The former Regional Manager of Dunder Mifflin-Scranton, Michael Scott, knows every emotion we're going through. You don't believe me, you say? Well, keep scrolling then...

When the Monday of Dead Week is here, and you feel all the motivation in the world.

When all of the motivation you once had is gone within 5 seconds of you having it.

The moment you realize how many finals you have, which equals to how much you really should study.

When you still don't seem to understand a thing your instructor's been teaching, and the final's tomorrow.

The feeling you get the second you walk out of your toughest final of the semester.

When you have to spend one more night in the library, and somebody stole the last seat.

That moment finals week is over, you're able to head home, and not have to worry about any classwork for the next month.

Well everybody, I wish you the most sincere and best levels of luck as you take on the next couple of weeks. When you're stressed out of your mind, just try to remember that everybody around you is feeling the exact same way, and that you are not alone. We are going to get through these next couple of weeks, and Christmas will soon be here.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
