If Finals Week Were Like The Office

If Finals Week Were Like The Office

Finals week in college is the one time of the academic year where all students can unanimously agree on one thing: It sucks. Big time. If you aren't stress eating, ripping hairs out, developing carpal tunnel from hours spent typing or having an existential crisis approximately once every .03 seconds, are you really experiencing college finals week? Here, the 10 times The Officeaccurately resembled every college student's final week of classes and exams.

1. When finals are like two days away and your professors are STILL handing out new assignments without a care in the world.

2. That one kid who is chattering away to his friends on the quiet floors of Bird. We see you. We know you. And yes, indeed we loathe you.

3. Trying to reach the word count on your 10+ page research thesis.

4. Every person's thought process as they're crossing intersections on campus and would rather die than study for their next exam.

5. The feeling when you have two finals back to back in one day and you're high on caffeine and self-loathing.

6. The feeling of knowing that the holidays and winter break are just around the corner but you still have finals week in the way.

7. Walking into your final with zero hours of sleep and a shit ton of regret and self-loathing.

8. When your professor says that this is not an essay/take-home exam/final project that can be done in one night.

9. When you KNOW you should be studying but laying in bed eating Easy Mac and watching Netflix sounds that much more appealing.

10. Nothing compares to that feeling of walking out of your last exam and knowing that you finally can sleep, eat to your hearts desire and reunite with you family and friends back home.


Best of luck on your finals, and enjoy your winter break!

Happy holidays!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
