The End Of The Semester, As Told By 'The Office'

I am running away from my responsibilities and it feels good

The End Of The Semester, As Told By 'The Office'

Here it comes; finals week. The endless hours in the library, the pages upon pages of essay papers, and the countless tears shed as you contemplate your entire existence. The end of the semester may be dawning on us, but of course, that still doesn't stop us from binge watching "The Office" on Netflix, and they understand the struggle just as much as the rest of us.

1. Trying to reach the page limit minimum.

If I can get the essay done in five-and-a-half pages, why do I need that extra half page to get full credit?

2. When the professor assigns a last minute assignment.

Oh, so on top of the exam that counts 20 percent of our grade, you want to assign another paper. I hate so much about the things you choose to be.

3. Asking yourself if college is worth it?

Maybe my minimum wage job isn't so bad after all. Who am I kidding, yes it is? College, you win this round.

4. How you act walking into the exam room.

"What's the minimum grade I can get to pass still the class?"

5. When your friend lets you copy their homework.


We all get a little overwhelmed with work, so maybe just this once copying some homework can help you out.

6. Trying to stay awake in class.

What is sleep?

7. Realizing just how much work you have to do but haven't started.

Due tomorrow = do tomorrow

8. Waiting for summer vacation.

The end is so close... yet so far.

9. Summer is near, but what about when your friends go back home?

No, I'm not crying. I only spent an entire semester with these people every day, and now they're leaving me for four months. Six hours away isn't that long, right?


10. Writing an essay but having no idea what you're writing about.

I'm supposed to be writing about King Henry VII, or King Henry IV, or, wait, what was I supposed to be writing about?

11. When the professor cancels an assignment.

Miracles do exist.

12. When your friends have time to go out but you're home doing projects, essays, and homework.

How do I have two essays due tomorrow but you don't even have a final in that class? Thanks, guys.

13. When you and your friend both pass the class.

Thank you, professor, because retaking this class was not an option.



You know that at the end of the day, you're going to make it out alive if you just study, work hard, party less and focus on the last couple weeks. Think of it this way; tuition isn't cheap, do you have the extra $10,000 to spend on an extra semester?

mistake

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
