Finals Week: The Office Edition

"No, God! Please, no! Noooooo" - Michael Scott

Finals Week: The Office Edition
Hypable.com

Here we are, students. It's officially finals week. Welcome to test reviews, study groups, sleepless nights, and so much more. If college is a sport, then the week of final exams is our Olympics. We've trained for countless months, sharpened our skills, and now it's time to claim the gold medals. And who better to help describe the rollercoaster that is this infamous week than our Officefriends at Dunder-Mifflin? Here are 20 times that Michael Scott, Jim, Pam, Kelly, Dwight, and the rest of the Scranton branch accurately portrayed the feelings of finals week:

1) Finals weeks always start out with a short span of time in which you get a relatively light course load.

No papers! No lectures! No new information!

2) However, any seasoned student knows that this is merely the calm before the storm.

Oh, this is going to be very bad.

3) Suddenly, you have papers, projects, and presentations ALL DUE MONDAY.

Because your professors obviously get together and set a date for all of their work to be due on the least convenient day for you.

4) When you're sitting in the test review and your professor says, "You remember when we learned this, right?"

I don't believe this was in my $400 textbook, no.

5) And after a few hours of studying, you can't seem to keep your eyes open.

*wakes up from sound of own snoring, with face in book and trail of drool from jaw*

6) But the important thing is to remind yourself that whatever you do...

If the tears come out, then the exams win.

7) So, maybe you start stress eating.

And you know you aren't reaching for apples and carrot sticks. Bring the truckloads of Ben and Jerry's and french fries this way, please!

8) And you get hundreds of people reassuring you that there's nothing to worry about.

Said every professor, parent, relative, and older friend ever.

9) You feel as if your social life is just paused because you've spent every waking moment studying.

Waking up to 1,000,000 unwatched snapchat stories and 300 texts in the group chat has never given you so much FOMO.

10) Plus, your coffee addiction is through the roof at this point.

Is there any way that I could get that espresso in a bottomless IV to-go? No? OK.

11) Meanwhile, you try to maintain a sense of normalcy by keeping up with your gym schedule.

Maybe if I do squats while I read, the exam will ace itself. Just maybe.

12) You've even tried to unwind by listening to some of the classics.

Because everyone's got that one song that makes them feel like they're in the motivational scene of a movie.

13) Perhaps the stress get a you a tad bit moody here and there.

During finals season, it's often best not to provoke a grouchy college student. Simply throwing food at it and maintaining a far, yet comfortable distance will suffice.

14) And group study sessions are fun until someone is way too noisy/distracting/off task.

No one cares about your new Pinterest board, Becky. We're here for chemistry and we will not hesitate to vote you off of the island right now.

15) And thinking about how close you are to summer break is such a tease sometimes.

Summer concerts and tan lines are within arms reach.

16) But you need to keep that self-confidence of yours in mind because you've got this.

We are all a little Beyonce and Beyonce can do anything.

17) When you finally get to the exam, everyone talks about how much they've prepared for it and you're like

You studied a week in advance? Yeah, same because I totally didn't start reviewing and switch to a 7-episode Netflix binge. Nope, not me.

18) But you finally take that exam and hand it to your professor on the way out like

Thanks for those awesome 15 weeks of classes and super fun 100 questions, but I'm out.

19) And when all of the long suffering is over, you finally get to enjoy the summer break.

Time to sleep and celebrate, y'all.

20) And let's not forget that sense of accomplishment you feel when you get your good grades back and realized you actually learned something.

Hey, I think this college thing is working

For summing up our struggles, thank you, Dunder-Mifflin.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
