Test Week As Told By The Office

"I'm running away from my responsibilities and it feels good." - Michael Scott

Test Week As Told By The Office

It's the middle of the first round of tests, but let's be real - test weeks don't really stop from now until the end of the semester. The good ol' days of summer are fading faster than our summer tans and our brains are running on more cups of coffee than hours we are sleeping. (Or maybe that's just me.) Well, anyways, The Office tends to nail life's everyday emotions when it comes to school, studying, and tests.

When someone you've never seen in class before suddenly starts showing up, and then has the audacity to ask for the notes...from every lecture of the year.

Summer...it's gone, but not forgotten. Let's be real, y'all. The only thing on our mind right now is the beaches we were laying on just over a month ago, but reality says that we have four tests, two papers, and one presentation this week.

When the professor starts giving a "review," but it turns out that he's just telling you all of the PowerPoint information again. It was hard enough to sit through them the first time, but now I have to look over all of them again? Okay, fine. I'll do it. But I will not be happy about it.

After 2 all-nighters, emotions grow a mind of their own. From the outside looking in, you just can't explain it.

"Hey, how are you?" "I'm fine, it's fine, school is fine."

When it's test week(s), all bets are off and ice cream at anytime of the day is totally acceptable.

When it comes to studying, you know what you have to get done and what is necessary to succeed. Yet at the same time we really have no idea how to study, what class we're studying for, or what scantron we need for the test tomorrow morning.

Strongly considering the Q drop, but I already know all of the "valuable" knowledge that would simply go to waste if I was to not complete the course.

When you ask the professor what to expect on the test, and he hits you with the classic, "Read the syllabus." And then after checking it, find out that your midterm is over eight chapters. Wonderful.


Walking into class the day of the test. Trying to find your assigned seat. Preparing for the worst, but desperately hoping for the best. C's get degrees, right?

When you thought you failed the test, but somehow pulled a decent grade.

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.

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.

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.
