Finals Week As Told By Dwight Schrute

Finals week is an exceptionally stressful time for many of us. Emotions are high, all-nighters are pulled to finish up assignments and the overall frantic chaos is everywhere. Who better to describe our feelings than the one and only Dwight Schrute?

You already anticipate that you'll be spending countless hour in the library and probably making it your home for the next week.


You cram as many review sessions into your study schedule as you can, but of course everyone has the same idea, so they're packed with other knowledge hungry students.


You realize you have 5 finals, 3 projects, 6 essays and a presentation all due in the same week.


You have a brief moment of genius and productivity where you get a lot of studying done. It's an amazing few hours and some of the best time you've spent going over your material.


You have a mental breakdown. Or two. Or seven. There are just not enough hours in the day to cram all the information you didn't learn during the semester into your brain now. It's just not going to happen.


You study harder than you ever have and try your hardest to absorb the information. Running through the information like a chicken without a head.

You eventually give up. You accept your defeat and move on. If you don't know it now, oh well. If it's meant to be, it will be.


You're practically made out of coffee now because the amount of the stuff you've consumed. Staying up into the early morning hours doing the stuff in an insanely, probably unhealthy amount.


You have a few hours of un-productive-ness, either Netflix and snacking or just messing around and doing weird things.


The feeling after you've finished your last final

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
