Finals Week Told By Michael Scott
Business News Daily

Dead Week, as defined by urbandictionary.com is " at any major college or university, the week before finals are administered and most major projects and assignments are due for submission. The late night working and hardcore studying for finals gives the students a zombie like atmosphere, and causes an eerie silence and many blank, unseeing expressions." If you're a college student right now and you're reading this, you know this definition is spot-on with what actually happens. Guys and girls walk around campus with coffee cups, sometimes in both hands, there might as well be fights for the computers and seats in the libraries, and the struggle of calculating the grade you need on your final to pass the class has never been more prevalent. I may have some good news for you though, so just bear with me. The former Regional Manager of Dunder Mifflin-Scranton, Michael Scott, knows every emotion we're going through. You don't believe me, you say? Well, keep scrolling then...

When the Monday of Dead Week is here, and you feel all the motivation in the world.

When all of the motivation you once had is gone within 5 seconds of you having it.

The moment you realize how many finals you have, which equals to how much you really should study.

When you still don't seem to understand a thing your instructor's been teaching, and the final's tomorrow.

The feeling you get the second you walk out of your toughest final of the semester.

When you have to spend one more night in the library, and somebody stole the last seat.

That moment finals week is over, you're able to head home, and not have to worry about any classwork for the next month.

Well everybody, I wish you the most sincere and best levels of luck as you take on the next couple of weeks. When you're stressed out of your mind, just try to remember that everybody around you is feeling the exact same way, and that you are not alone. We are going to get through these next couple of weeks, and Christmas will soon be here.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
