10 Reactions College Students Have To Finals Week That Dunder Mifflin Employees Also Had

Because finals are almost a bigger disaster for students than "Scott's Tots."

For Chemistry majors, finals come suddenly and swiftly. They are (in my case) always on the first day of finals and back to back with the advanced math course that they required you to take with it. However, most students on UT's campus have awful finals as well. This can create a lot of stress because there isn't much time to prepare for everything all at once. Some like to watch TV while they study to help with the pain of boredom, and what better show to watch than The Office? So, here are 10 reactions from The Office that students have during finals week.

1. When you KNOW you have to study to even fail this test.


If you're like most students, you HATE studying. The words blur as you try to read them, you're suddenly tired, even the white paint in your dorm room seems more interesting.

2. The period of anguish you have when you realize you had another final to study for.

Remember that other final you were supposed to study for? Yeah, neither did we.

3. When you consider dropping out of college altogether.


Surely it's illegal to be tested on this much material? It's not, but you sometimes find yourself wishing that you would've chosen to become a theater major because you sure know how to be dramatic.

4. Realizing after your short breakdown that you can't drop out of college.


You've worked too hard to drop out after all you've been through this semester. After all, you might as well take this exam because you missed the dropout period, and you can always do summer classes.

5. When that horrid day actually comes and you have to be at the exam by 8 AM sharp.


Who on earth decided exams should start anywhere before noon? You can't even be mad because you're THAT sleep deprived. In fact, some don't sleep for three days trying to reabsorb everything they can about geometrical isomerism and titrations.

6. Flipping to that first question on your final.


What do you mean nothing on the final review and SI session sheets was going to be on the test? That first question on your final is straw that broke the camel's back, and with tears in your eyes, you wave goodbye to your brain as it makes its exit.

7. That question on finals that wasn't discussed, tested on, or even mentioned in homework.


This sneaky (and often difficult) question stumps just about everyone who takes the final, and it is the one that everyone asks about afterward. How did this question come to be? It wasn't on any lecture, homework, exam, or even in the chapters that you discussed. However, if you shine a UV light on the cover of your book, you'll find that question explained and simplified.

8. When you get that final exam grade back


It's almost never a pretty sight when it comes to finals. You can pretty much feel your soul leave your body in pursuit of a smarter host. However, it's over now, and what's done is done.

9. Bargaining with your professor for some extra credit or leeway.


It's not their fault no one studied for the test, and no one is saying that it is. However, when your class average looks like the percent of women in the STEM field, you pray that some curving is granted.

10. Pass or fail, the moment the class is officially over.


It's finally over! Whether you're retaking the class or passed with flying colors (or anything in between), at least this semester is done. It's time to pack up, hit the road, and enjoy the comfort of your home until the next semester begins. For now, enjoy the luxury of sleeping in an unbunked beds.

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.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
