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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
