Finals As Told By 'The Office'

I'm dead on the inside.

Finals As Told By 'The Office'
playbuzz.com

Finals week is so stressful. The majority of our grade is decided all in about five days for every single class. We have to study for multiple classes at the same time and re-learn things that we learned months ago. Our hand often feels like it is going to fall off from making flash cards and our brains feel at maximum capacity. It can feel like a lot of pressure, but luckily our friends at the office kinda understand how we feel.

When the professor/teacher says the final will be accumulative.

This basically means that the final will cover absolutely everything that has ever been talked about in every class meeting ever. No big deal.


Trying to stay awake while studying.

Come on you can do this. Just a few more hours or something. If you fall asleep now you'll never graduate.


When you get a glance of your study guide.

Okay, this is a lot of information. And this is just for one class. Sometimes the only cure for stress is ice-cream. So put your stretchy pants on and get back to studying.


When that overachiever says they've already started studying.

Go ahead and rub your amazing time management skills in our faces. As if we weren't panicking enough now we realize we should've started studying months ago like you.


When you get the 5 minutes remaining warning.

But I still have half of the test left. No, I refuse to accept this. I will stay here until this is finished or until I am kicked out. Where did all that time go. Surely I didn't spend that much time thinking about all the food I'll have over break.


Trying to manage your time so you have more time to study.

Sometimes you've gotta brush you teeth while walking to class or eat while typing a paper. It is called multitasking and it crucial to have enough time to study for everything.


When your friends ask if you want to go out.

Oh it is so tempting. The good part of you is saying that you should stay in and study. However, the adventurous side is tempting you to go for it and to have some fun. It is a battle in the mind. You try to think of when you could make up for the time loss when you are going out.


When someone asks you how you think you did.

Honestly, it could go either way. It is so up in the air sometimes it's not even funny.


when someone decides to talk about something unrelated to school and finals.

Thank you for changing things up and getting our minds off of our upcoming academic death.

Thinking about all the times you should've appreciated when you didn't have finals.

We took that time for granted.

Trying to convince people to study with you.

Come on, I bring some things to the table.

When finals are finally over.

Raise the roof. We survived and we could not be happier.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
