Finals week is the most important week of the entire semester; everything you have studied and accomplished over the last four months was in preparation for this week. The final week of the semester is a combination of stressing over doing well on all of your exams, attempting to master all of the techniques that you should have mastered weeks ago, prioritizing which classes need the most attention, giving yourself inspirational pep-talks, getting pumped for the holidays and sleeping in (which seem so close, yet so far away), and dreaming of those three glorious weeks after exams so you can finally have a break from classes. Here are 17 times that The Office's Michael Scott accurately relayed the thoughts and feelings of college students during finals week.
