Doug the Pug is most certainly one of the most famous dogs around. Why? well because he simply represents every single one of us, especially during finals week.
That time of the year is approaching us again, when students across the country are surviving on very minimum hours a sleep each night, when coffee becomes your best friend, when you get to the point that you are just too tired to care about anything anymore. Well, put down that notebook and take a 5 minute break to realize why Doug The Pug is the perfect spirit animal for these hard times we are living through.
When you are so determined to be organized this finals week that you take out the old pair of glasses and even start to read the newspaper.
But deep down you know this just isn't going to work.
When you are still trying to keep up your "organized" persona but your true colors start to show as soon as you see a bed.
"I am just going to nap for 10 minute that's it, I swear."
When you wake up 3 hours later from what was supposed to be only a 10 minute nap.
When you realize that you're going to have to actually get up and start doing some work.
"Why does the world hate me?"
And when you finally get out of bed you decide your blanket must come along with you
"This blanket is the most important thing in my life right now, ok?"
But we all know that one blanket just isn't enough...
"You can find me under the pile of blanket wallowing in self pity."
There is no such thing as too much coffee during finals week.
Spending unnecessary time in the shower contemplating all the things you have to do when you step out into the world.
"Maybe if I just stay in here for a little bit longer all my finals will disappear."
When you hand in the coffee for something even stronger...
"I swear I have no clue how this wine bottle got here."
And then the wine follows you into the shower, because why not?
"It helps me relax, ok?"
That 5 minute period where you just decide to give up and start binge watching a show on Netflix.
"Re-watching the whole series of Friends is part of my studying, I assure you."
But then you realize that you can't actually do that...
"Why must I care about my grades and my future?"
When every single one of your meals consists of Cheez it's, peanut butter, chocolate, and all the junk food.
"If I eat all of this chocolate I'll have more energy to study, right?"
Towards the end of final weeks when you don't even care about you look like in public anymore.
"I am creating new trends."
When you walk out of a test and have no clue what anything meant on it.
"Did I just take the wrong final?"
Being extremely excited for the Holidays but then you realize you still have like 5 finals to take.
"Why can't I just enjoy the happiest time of the year peacefully?"
But then once you are finally done you can go and enjoy all of the festivities...
"I am so happy that I am just going to eat every single Christmas cookie in my sight."
Finally, nothing ever compares to the pure happiness you feel when you realize that you survived yet another final week.
"I am going to drink every single drink in this bar to celebrate the end of the worst time of the year."
That is until you realize that you have to do it all over again next semester.
"Will I ever live?"
