Your Typical College Semester, Explained By Characters From 'The Office'

Every college semester is different, true, but they also all have a pretty similar layout. From syllabus week to finals week, nothing can better describe how students feel during a typical semester than "The Office."

1. Syllabus Week

Giphy

Can we take out the group project, please? And maybe extend a few deadlines...

2. The First Weekend Back From Break

Giphy

No homework, no worries, no problems - the one weekend all semester where you don't have to force yourself to have fun, and it just comes naturally!

3. The Scary Week After Syllabus Week, When The Prof Starts Teaching...

Giphy

If I can't understand it now, I'm definitely not going to understand it by the end of the semester.

4. The Second Weekend... And All The Ones After

Giphy

Staying in the dorm, with headphones on, thinking about all your stress and problems and grades while your friends try to hype you up? Sounds about right.

5. Mid-Terms Time

Giphy

An exam, paper, and project in every class? I promised myself I wouldn't cry this semester, but some things just don't change...

6. Post-Midterms, Pre-Finals

Giphy

That point during the semester where you would rather stare at the ceiling all day instead of even thinking about studying.

7. Realizing You're So Close, Yet Still So Far, From Break

Giphy

When was the last time I slept? Is it acceptable to sleep through the rest of the semester?

8. The Moment Your Prof Offers You Last Minute Extra Credit Before Finals

Giphy

There is hope for my grades!!!

9. Dreaded Finals Week

Giphy

Why is there so much studying? Why is this even a thing?

10. THE SEMESTER IS OVER

Giphy

BLESS UP!!!

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
