Stages Of Studying For Finals, As Told By 'The Office'

It is the crisp air and warm weather that signals it is almost time for floods of students to return home. But before all of this, there is the stage of mist and sorrow; the air is flooded with tears and anxiety, and the sun that may be shining down upon stressed out students just appears to be another reminder that summer is near, but also far.

Here are the moments that most college students go through when anticipating the beginning of their studying period for finals.

1. It's finally here. The moment you have dreaded and are unsure how to prepare for.

2. The permanency of this week sent from the devil himself sets in. You start to resent everything that finals week is... even the 'good lucks' and smiles from strangers.

3. You start accepting the inevitable.

4. Like, you may actually fail your classes this semester. All of your homework assignments or participation in class will be ruined by one cumulative exam.

5. You take your first test and things go oddly well.

6. Things start to go downhill after your second or third exam. You try telling yourself you know this information, but the point is moot. You are getting your political jargon mixed with scientific terms.

7. You get that test grade back and are less than thrilled. You must do everything in your power to conceal it from your parents. You're not trying to fail a test and then die.

8. You have been up until at least 4 a.m. for five nights straight and you might get a little emotional with the person in the library cubicle next to you. (The less you know them, the more emotional you will likely be.)

9. All in all, after a good cry-session, you know that deep down inside you are amazing and unique and fabulous and will succeed in life.

10. When you politely slam your pencil down to represent your victorious completion of all your final exams. Which means... summer.

11. Things are out of your hands now. All you have to do is wait for those grades. And when you get them back, you're like:

Don't fret everyone. Grades, at the end of the day, are numbers or letters on a piece of paper that should not define how you view yourself as a student or as a person. (Unless you purposely failed or didn't try and then maybe you need to do some reassessing of the situation).

In the end, you will be alright.

Good luck fellow scholars. Dwight K. Schrute and I believe in you.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
