18 GIFs From 'The Office' That Describe Every College Student

I may be a freshman, but I feel the pain.

The Office

College can be a time of greatness or fatigue, first times or second chances, pass or fail. While it is a much better experience, personally, it does have its downsides that make me feel tired all the time; like, if I had just pulled an all-nighter and then did a full body workout without stretching... not that I have done that, it's just an expression of my fatigue.

Since the Christmas holidays ended, I have been binge watching a show called The Office. My friends and I all love it. It's full of so many jokes and secondhand embarrassment. I always watch it at night after my studies. Because this show is so realistically entertaining, I found that there are a number of GIFs that wonderfully describe how I feel on a daily basis in college.

1. Sunday

There's this lovely feeling you have when you wake up on Sunday and feel like this week will be different.

2. Monday

When you wake up on Monday and realize everything will stay the same...

3. Tuesday

At this point, you're considering your life choices.

4. Wednesday

The middle of the week is the hardest part.

5. Thursday

"Maybe instead of going to class, I can just sit here for a few more minutes."

6. Friday

No comment (we all know Fridays are the wishes that came true).

7. Saturday

When you set up your homework schedule...

The times in between:

8. When your professor is running late

It's so hard to arrive to class ready to learn and then your professor comes in 5 minutes late because at the minute-late mark we're hoping the class is canceled.

9. "The Younger Ones"

When you look at younger siblings' or cousins' homework...

10. Friday nights

When your friends ask if you want to go out...

11. The sleeper

When you're trying really hard to stay awake during a lecture...

12. The review/ study guide

Professors are usually trying to help when they give you a review, but as you walk out of class you have to admit this.

13. "Put everything away. We're having a quiz."

The one time you didn't do the reading assignment is the one time the professor decides to have a pop quiz.

14. During finals week...

Unless you know exactly what you're doing, you're stuck in the library all day with headphones in and notes glued to your face...

15. Reading the "week ahead" email...

16. When you remember who helps pay for tuition...

... and don't have the best of attendance or grades...

Now, just think about it... These are GIFs that can represent the everyday life of a college student, but there are two times in a semester where we all want to fall over even more...

Those two times are called:

Midterms

And FINALS

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
