19 Things Dwight Schrute Would Say To The College Student Who’s In A Mid-Semester Slump Extra Deep

In This Article:

It's at that point in the semester where college students are really feeling the workload weighing down on them. Sure, we've had homework to do all semester, but out of nowhere, it seems to intensify, and life becomes more stressful. The mid-semester slump is a real thing, and it's all too easy to lose every drop of motivation you have.

At this point, we all need an encouraging pep talk to make it through the semester, and who better than Dwight Schrute?

He definitely wouldn't want us to be ignorant sluts to the benefits of finishing the semester strong. He's ready to face any challenge, so I think college students can take some inspiration from him.

Here are some things Dwight would say in response to what college students say during the mid-semester slump.

1. You: “There’s no way I can get everything done for tomorrow. I might have to pull an all-nighter.”  

2. You: “I studied for this test for hours, yet my mind blanked during the exam. I’m probably the only one who will fail the test.”

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
