With the end of the semester vastly approaching, college students are finding themselves trying to finish those final projects, presentations, and tests. You’ll find us huddled in our rooms, avoiding our responsibilities, drowning in study material, and finding the slightest amount of time to nap. Our finals week isn’t just limited to a single week, it’s more like over the course of the last three weeks of the semester. So with all of that build up it, students can find themselves going a little insane, like Dwight from 'The Office' on the episode Stress Relief. Michael Scott and his employees of Dunder Mifflin have similar antics, commentary, and actions as us. So let’s see how the workers of Dunder Millflin would react to the stress of the end of the semester.
1. Realizing that finals week is just around the corner
It's happening, it's really happening. Where did those last 16 weeks go?
2. And that all those assignments that you were putting off until the last minute, finally catch up to you.
I'd rather clean up spilled chili than, deal with my responsibilities.
3. You spend an endless amount of time studying, and it practically feels like you haven't seen the light of day in weeks.
When it's 80 degrees and sunny, and all last week was rainy and floods, and you would just kill for some time outside of the library. SOS.
4. And all that's holding you together is running on 3 hours of sleep, 4 cups of coffee, and too much dry shampoo.
I mean who needs hygiene, sleep, and social life if you ace your exams right? We all can relate to Michael Scott.
5. But after spending all that time studying, your friends convince you to splurge and get your favorite snack as a reward.
The things I would do to have a QT kitchens pretzel and a 32oz cherry Slurpee right now.
6. Figuring out how you are going to fit an entire room full of stuff, into your compact vehicle.(It’s Real life Tetris)
It’s Real life Tetris.
7. When you are put into a final group project with someone you already dislike because of their lack of work ethic.
Here goes spending 12 hours of your own time, on a project you already know could be much easier if you had a group that contributed.
8. Going through all of your professor's notes on blackboard trying to catch up.
*copy and paste word for word of power point lectures onto Quizlet in hopes of a learning 16 weeks of material in one night.
9. When Dead Day Eve finally arrives.
Dead Day, Study Day, Break Day, we all have our own names for it. All we know is that it's time to celebrate no more regular scheduled classes!
10. Asking your teacher if there is any way they will bump up your grade.
Even Jim knew that he deserved more (than an A-). The plus-minus system is the bane of a college student's existence.
11. Getting your grades back, finding out you actually didn't fail that test.
Shook is the only word that describes the feeling.
12. Walking out of your last final knowing that summer is waiting, and the semester is (finally) OVER!
Good luck on these last few weeks of the semester, you can do it! Remember to take study breaks, go outside get some fresh air, Nail those last exams, and celebrate when it’s all over.
