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!!!

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water.
