The 11 Stages Of Finals Week, As Told By "The Office"

It's finals week. At this point, I've binge watched the first four seasons of "The Office" in nine days and have been as unproductive as ever. Tensions are high, motivation is low. Struggling with understanding the stages of finals week? Let the crew at Dunder Mifflin do the work for you.

Stage 1: Denial

You look at your planner and realize all of the work you have to get finished, and you just...

Stage 2: Grade Computations

So you sit down to start studying and instead decide that a much better way to spend your time is to calculate what grades you need to pass. And then you realize it's bad either way, and you may have to move to Alaska to hide your GPA from your family.

Stage 3: Stress-Eating


You've downed eight family-sized bags of Doritos, six sleeves of double-stuffed Oreos, and two pints of Ben & Jerry's before you even know what hit you.

Stage 4: You Gain New Personalities

After sitting down to attempt to be productive, first you're happy, and then you're sad, and then you're eating 14 sleeves of Pop-Tarts and blaming it on your roommate. Your friends have probably named you something else by now and are likely hiding their fragile objects in case you have one of your outbursts and attempt to throw them across the room (again).

Stage 5: You Actually Study.

Hard. Really hard. And you probably cry a little. (Or a lot.)

Stage 6: Things Get Rough.

At this point, you're sleep deprived, moody, and cracking up at all of those new Snapchat filters, doing everything in your power to stay sane...(and probably failing.)

Stage 7: Prayers To The Lord

You're knee-deep and pumping through essays and chapter reviews like it's your day job. At this point, you're singing "Jesus Take The Wheel" and just praying it all doesn't come crashing down on your head.

Stage 8: Pre-Exams

This is it. The hours and minutes and seconds you've spent preparing have all led up to this. So you put on a smile and pretend you're not dying a little (or a lot) and you keep on keepin' on, walking into your first exam with the best game face you can muster.

Stage 9: During The Exam

You look down at question one, and you're like..

Stage 10: Post-Exam


You walk out and potentially shed a tear for your incoming GPA, but the important thing is, it's done. One word: Bliss

Stage 11: The Realization

Then you realize...it's all over. Another semester of school is in the books. And as excited as you are for the next one, you just can't help but be super happy to go home and see your friends and watch Netflix for 14 hours a day.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
