It is that time of the year where every college student's school year is winding down to a close and finals are fastly approaching. All that work that was given to you on syllabus week is due right around the corner and I can bet 90 percent of you have yet to start it. Usually, when there comes a time in the school year where it is crazy busy and very stressful, I like to take the time I'm not doing homework and watch my favorite show on Netflix. I recently finished the series 'The Office': the US version and I still don't understand why it took me so long to go through such an amazing show. For those of you who have seen it know exactly how relatable each of the characters are on the show, so here are 10 times 'The Office' characters described finals week in college:

1. When your professor assigns you three exams and two papers the week before finals

I always look at my professor like this when they something, but when they do it right before finals week, I think that is just being straight out cruel. Especially when a professors final is cumulative, so on top of having to reteach yourself an entire semester's worth of material, you have to still learn new things and complete new assignments.

2. When the library and all the classrooms are filled

Sometimes you just want a quiet place to sit and study and work on your pile of assignments, especially if you rooming situation is like mine and your roommate never leaves and room is very disruptive. It can get hectic right before finals week, so trying to find a spot in the library of a classroom to sit in becomes the school version of The Hunger Games.

3. Getting NO sleep


This is just a normal thing in college, but for some reason between all the studying, writing papers, reading etc. sleep is just something that does not happen during finals and I think all of us students have accepted that.

4. Seeing other schools get to move out before you

I go to school with a bunch of other colleges in the area and 3 out of the 6 schools are finishing up their finals week and moving on, and yet here I am still trying to finish up my last day of classes.

5. Seeing your final grade as 79.999%

Seriously? You couldn't just round that .99 up to the next whole number and give me that B I deserved? It always depends on the professor, but most of the time your final grade will stay in that .99 range and you'll have to deal with that fact that you were so close, yet so far from that B.

6. Knowing you're halfway done with finals and getting a confidence boost


You are halfway done with "hell week" and you are feeling really good about the finals you have taken so far. Your easy finals are saved for last and you can just slide right through the rest of the week without a care in the world.

7. Staying up all night studying for your 8 a.m. final

You felt invincible at 2 a.m. studying all the material you need to know for your final for the next day, but all of a sudden your alarm goes off at 7:45 am the next day and you feel like a zombie.

8. Seeing the first question on your final and having no idea what the answer is

Even with all of that preparation, you look at the first question and whisper "what the f*ck" to yourself having absolutely no idea what to write. You start to question when you even learned this throughout the course of the semester and your mind just goes blank.

9. Trying to reach the word count on a paper

You are only off by about 50 more words and you literally have nothing else to say on the subject. You have reworded your last paragraph at least 10 times you still cannot figure out how to reach the word count.

10. Walking out of your last final

It is such a fantastic feeling when you put down your pencil and hand in that blue book to your professor and walk out that last final. You can now leave campus knowing for at least 3 whole months you can relax and not have to worry about writing another paper until September rolls around.

I'm sure all college students can relate to at least one of these feelings. It is clear that finals week is stressful, but just know that it only lasts 5 days and you will be able to make it through, with only a few mental breakdowns in between.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

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.
