19 Things Dwight Schrute Would Say To The College Student Who’s In A Mid-Semester Slump Extra Deep

NBC Universal

It's at that point in the semester where college students are really feeling the workload weighing down on them. Sure, we've had homework to do all semester, but out of nowhere, it seems to intensify, and life becomes more stressful. The mid-semester slump is a real thing, and it's all too easy to lose every drop of motivation you have.

At this point, we all need an encouraging pep talk to make it through the semester, and who better than Dwight Schrute?

He definitely wouldn't want us to be ignorant sluts to the benefits of finishing the semester strong. He's ready to face any challenge, so I think college students can take some inspiration from him.

Here are some things Dwight would say in response to what college students say during the mid-semester slump.

1. You: “There’s no way I can get everything done for tomorrow. I might have to pull an all-nighter.”

NBC Universal

2. You: “I studied for this test for hours, yet my mind blanked during the exam. I’m probably the only one who will fail the test.”

NBC Universal

3. You: “Even if I did get an F on the test, it’ll bring my grade down a letter, but that’s not so bad, right?”

NBC Universal

4. You: “I’ve felt completely off this week. What is happening to my emotions?”

NBC Universal

5. You: “I am so stressed out that I think I’m putting myself into a depression.”

NBC Universal

6. You: “I have so much to do that I don’t want to do any of it.”

NBC Universal

7. You: “If I could spend more time with friends and actually get enough sleep, maybe I’d feel happiness again.”

NBC Universal

8. You: “Maybe it would just be easier if I dropped out of college and assumed a new identity.”

NBC Universal

9. You: “I wish I was back in high school when life was so much easier.”

NBC Universal

10. You: “I could really use a Starbucks latte right now, but the line is SO long. What else is new?”

NBC Universal

11. You: “The state of my GPA is an absolute joke.”

NBC Universal

12. You: “I should make a schedule for doing my homework throughout the day.”

NBC Universal

13. You: “Looking at my schedule for the week, there is nothing to smile about.”

NBC Universal

14. You: “I wish I could get advice on how to handle everything.”

NBC Universal

15. You: “I just might die from stress.”

NBC Universal

16. You: “I really should stop multitasking and just focus on one assignment.”

NBC Universal

17. You: “Should I skip class today?”

NBC Universal

18. You: “Maybe I’ll have time somewhere in my schedule to enjoy autumn.”

NBC Universal

19. You: “I can’t wait until winter break when everything is over.

For better or for worse

Loyola University Chicago

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
