15 End-Of-The-Semester Moments Every College Student Experiences, As Told By Nick Miller

Ah, finals. While there's no proper way to quite capture all the crippling anxiety and self-loathing that comes at the end of the semester, Nick Miller from New Girl sure does come close. Get even more sidetracked from the work you should be doing and enjoy these 15 moments all college students experience at the end of the semester.

1. Coming back from Thanksgiving break and remembering everything you have to do over the next three weeks.

2. Finally checking the syllabus in your "easy" class and realizing your professor assigned a group project, final paper and exam all due before Christmas.

3. Continuing to put off everything and rewarding yourself for the little bit of work you do.

4. Finding little things to keep you as positive (and sane) as possible...

5. ...only to have the panic start to kick in with just two weeks left.

6. Beginning to question why you decided to "college" in the first place, looking into other professions that don't require an education.

7. Priding yourself in completing basic, everyday tasks - such as getting out of bed that day.

8. Using your stress as an excuse to treat yourself.


9. Wishing you could bring the comfort of your room (specifically, your bed) to the library with you.

10. De-stressing by having a glass (or bottle) of wine.

11. Reassuring your parents that you're taking care of yourself - kind of.


12. Lacking any sort of social or romantic life, so you resort to befriending the workers at the library's café who make your hourly coffee.


13. Studying for hours yet the only thing you've memorized is that "the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell".

14. Accepting that you're going to fail.


15. Walking out of your last exam relieved...only to remember you have to do it all over again next semester.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
