The End Of The School Year As Told By The Office

Yes, we still aren't out yet.

The End Of The School Year As Told By The Office
Huffington Post

Nothing is better than almost being done with college. Sure, it's pretty nice to be away from home, and it's cool to be in the vicinity of so many of your friends, but let's be honest. Everyone is excited to be done with tests and papers when that final month hits. However, nothing makes the final weeks of school worse than seeing all your pals at other colleges already out and having a blast. It makes the fun parts of college crappy, and the crappy parts even crappier. The workers of Dunder Mifflin embody the truly unbearable parts of the last few weeks of college.


1. Trying to enjoy cafeteria food

By now you've had everything in the cafeteria at least five times, and you can't afford to get takeout again. Oh, and your friend's mom just posted a photo of a welcome home dinner made entirely from scratch. Hooray.


2. People asking to hang out, but you aren't home yet

Yeah, I'd love to hang out, but I still have two more weeks of class before I can leave. Raincheck?

3. Vacation photos. Everywhere.

Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Tumblr and... LinkedIn? Seriously? You put vacay photos on LinkedIn? Now I know you're just rubbing it in.

4. You can't binge watch a Netflix series

Everyone has been raving about that new, must-watch series, but you just don't have time to keep up. If you start it, you won't be able to stop, so you might as well keep working on that final paper.


5. You begin to question why you chose a school that gets out so late

Seriously, this feels like torture.

6. Focusing in class is 100000% harder

The sun is shining. The birds are chirping. It is just too nice outside to pay attention.

7. People constantly ask when you get done with school.

Please don't remind me.

8. Suddenly everything is more interesting than studying

Doing the dishes doesn't seem that bad anymore. And while you're at it, might as well sweep the floor... and organize your desk.


9. You have to fill half a page to finish the paper, but you're out of stuff to say

You've already upped the font from 12 to 12.5, and you made the margins bigger. You're fresh out of ideas.

10. Your entire being is fueled by coffee and stress

But you know it will be over soon.

11. When you finally get out for the summer

You know that all your friends will have to go back to school way earlier than you. Then it is your turn to gloat.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
