Finals. As every college student knows, finals week is a bittersweet time of the semester. You can see Christmas break on the horizon yet you have a long road of responsibility leading up to it. Going back to school after the "tease", known as Thanksgiving break, ends then realizing all the final projects you have to finish up before the oh so dreaded final exams begin. I have combined all of the feels that go along with one of the worst weeks of the semester with a nationwide favorite, "The Office". Because who can't relate to the many hilarious moments that the famous employees of Dunder Mifflin experience everyday at the office?

1. Driving back to school after Thanksgiving break, filled to the brim with leftover turkey and dread for the next few weeks to come.

2. Forcing yourself to go to class everyday despite the fact that you know your grade is doomed.


3. Getting turned down by your professor for a last minute extra credit opportunity that your grade desperately needs.


4. Going out the weekend before finals start with your friends to try and forget that you should be studying and your GPA is on the line.

5. Thinking of all the things you're going to do on break but realizing you still have tons of assignments and tests to do before you get there.


6. Finding a "study buddy" to teach you everything you were supposed to have learned over the last three months.


7. Convincing your friends and yourself that pulling an all nighter the night before your final has prepared you for the exam your professor is handing out right now.

8. Looking at the first question of your final and realizing you're screwed.


9. When the person sitting next to you says how "easy" that final was.

10. Leaving your last final and realizing Christmas break can finally begin.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
