11 Times The Dunder Mifflin Employees Acted Like Finals Season Makes You Feel

In This Article:

"The Office" is the best show of all time and I will argue that to my grave. I have watched the series through at least five times already, and I'm currently watching it again. It's like talking to an old friend. I know the show so well, but it never fails to entertain me.

I laugh, I cry and I get very emotionally attached to the characters and storylines. As I've been watching this time through, I've realized just how relatable this show is to the time in my life. I'm not working in an office and selling paper, but there are some quotes that just perfectly describe what the end of freshman year feels like, and I've compiled the ultimate list.

How you feel when you wake up on the weekends and realize you actually have to do work instead of sleeping all day.

Giphy

I have four essays, a speech, a video project and six finals in the next two weeks, but I'm still watching "The Office" during my freetime instead of studying. It's all about balance.

When professors give you the ridiculously long study sheet for the final.

Giphy

I haven't taken tests all semester but every single one of my professors decided we're having actual exams for our finals. How is that fair? I'd rather write a million essays, but of course, my opinion doesn't matter. It's not like I pay for this or anything.

When you're sitting in class after an all-nighter and can't process anything anyone tells you.

Giphy

At this point, I'm just sitting in class and staring forward, hoping that my professor doesn't call on me because I haven't been listening whatsoever.

When your family asks you what your summer plans are.

Giphy

I can't get internships because I'm a freshman and I don't have any experience, but I can't get any experience because no one will hire me. So, I guess I'll sit in a corner and cry all summer.

When you're taking your multiple choice final but you somehow have three questions in a row that you answered "A" for.

Giphy

Being real, tests are more of a mind game than anything else. Even if you don't know the information super duper well, if you know how to take tests and think around how your professor made the test, you'll get a better grade than you think.

When your grades finally come out for the semester.

Giphy

Again, it's not even like my grades are bad, but I don't even know what my grades are, so they DEFINITELY can't know.

When you're trying to get the perfect shot for your final project for that one communications class.

Giphy

When explaining our final video project to us, my professor told us that a group of her students shot an action film on the roof of one of our buildings. To this day, no one knows how they actually got up there, but it accurately describes how hard we'll go for the perfect shot.

When I'm preparing to leave New York for three months and I'm trying to enjoy all of the things that are simply just better in New York, like pizza.

Giphy

Also, the Sbarros at my school is actually kind of OK, but they're getting rid of it next semester. Everyone is upset about it. The struggle is enjoying it while we can but not dying because of carb-overloading.

When you're trying to write all of your final essays and somehow make them all make sense.

Giphy

Mastering something enough to write a paper on it is daunting enough, but brainstorming and writing essays for five different classes is a new kind of terror. At this point, I feel illiterate and I'm just trying to do my best.

When you're desperately trying to get together your study group for finals amidst all of the other study groups you have to go to.

Giphy

We're all in this together, right?

Finally, when finals end and you realize you're just dramatic and got good grades anyways.

Giphy

It's never actually as bad as I'd like to make it seem, but when it's happening I'm still dying.

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
