Finals Week As Told By Michael Scott

I understand nothing.

Finals Week As Told By Michael Scott
NY Mag

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

Just kidding, it’s finals week. While everyone else is free to Christmas shop and get in the holiday spirit, college students are running around in a frenzy, leaving trails of essay drafts and empty coffee cups behind us. We’re running on nothing but eight shots of espresso and a suffocating sense of anxiety. Half of us forget to eat dinner because we’re too busy writing or studying. The only one who really understands us now is Michael Scott from The Office. Here’s a little glimpse into our crazy lives at the moment:

When all of a sudden you have four papers due at once and no idea how to write them all in time:


When someone asks how your semester is going when you’ve been studying for 16 hours straight:

When you show up to your first final exam and barely have the energy to pick up your pencil:

Presentations are the last priority, so you just start throwing information into slides and hoping for the best:

When your final is cumulative and you try to study, but you already forgot everything from the beginning of the semester:

When you’re swamped with work in every class and have no one to blame but yourself:

When your brain is fried and you literally can’t understand what you’re even looking at anymore:

When you’re down to your last $20 and all you want to do is buy more coffee:

When finals are over and you run home for winter break as fast as you can:

Finals are a rough time, indeed, but The Office makes everything better. Good luck to everyone; the end is in sight!

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.
