The First Set Of Exams As Told By Michael Scott
BuzzFeed

As we approach the close of our first month back at school, exams are around the corner for most of us. For some, they will be spread out nicely, while for others they are stacked like Jenga blocks before anyone starts to pull. I’m stressed, you’re stressed, we’re all stressed, but we should remember to relax and have a good laugh in the midst of our seemingly endless studies, and in a time like this, Michael Scott provides perfect comic relief.

Looking at your planner and realizing how much you have to study for this week:

Remembering that you still need to buy scantrons and solid No. 2 pencils:

Laying out all of your study material by subject and realizing that you’re looking into the face of death:

The small pep talks with yourself that keep your mental breakdown at bay for about another five minutes:

Having to cancel last minute on the stellar plans you made with your friends:

Apologizing to your roommate every thirty seconds for being frantic 24/7:

Getting out of your first exam feeling confident because the week is half over, but in the back of your mind you know you still have two more exams to live through:

Going back to the library for the third night in a row knowing you won’t be able to get in bed until about 2 a.m., if you’re lucky:

Finishing your second exam knowing that you’re almost done:

Sitting down for your last study session of hell week and feeling the exhaustion really settle in:

Walking out of your last exam feeling like a million bucks and about three cents all at the same time:

Finally relaxing and allowing the realization of how much work you really put in this week sink in:

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
