Finals Week As Told By The Office

No one hates working more than Michael Scott.

Finals Week As Told By The Office
EIUwrites.blogspot.com

Ah, here we are again. The most dreaded time of the year, finals week. Lock yourself in the lib, put on some classical music you detest, and have about 1738 pencils at the ready. If anyone knows how much we absolutely hate doing work, it's our friends from "The Office."

When you first get to the library, all bright-eyed and bushy tailed!


Going over every single powerpoint given by the professor as if your life depended on it.


When you forget how boring the material is.

Studying seems to suck all of the life out of you.


You're pretty sure you might just rot and become a carcass in this next week.


You start to wish you could go back to when times were simpler... oh, spring break, how we miss you.


When you just can't seem to get a single thing right.


And at some point you realize you've filled 12 pages with scratch notes trying to figure it out and you just give up.


But then you finally get the answer to one single problem and you feel on top of the world.


When it's hour 12 and you realize you haven't moved, eaten, or slept. Oh yeah, and you're still at the library.


You honestly can't even speak you're so damn tired.


To sum it up and perfectly describe finals:


But in the midst of all your hard work you realize...


And the excitement helps you to push through the pain.



Eventually, when all is said and done, you realized you've survived yet another finals week and you've come out victorious.


Good luck on finals, and may the odds be ever in your favor to find a seat at the library.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
