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.”
3. You: “Even if I did get an F on the test, it’ll bring my grade down a letter, but that’s not so bad, right?”
7. You: “If I could spend more time with friends and actually get enough sleep, maybe I’d feel happiness again.”
8. You: “Maybe it would just be easier if I dropped out of college and assumed a new identity.”
10. You: “I could really use a Starbucks latte right now, but the line is SO long. What else is new?”
