If Finals Week Were Like The Office

If Finals Week Were Like The Office

Finals week in college is the one time of the academic year where all students can unanimously agree on one thing: It sucks. Big time. If you aren't stress eating, ripping hairs out, developing carpal tunnel from hours spent typing or having an existential crisis approximately once every .03 seconds, are you really experiencing college finals week? Here, the 10 times The Officeaccurately resembled every college student's final week of classes and exams.

1. When finals are like two days away and your professors are STILL handing out new assignments without a care in the world.

2. That one kid who is chattering away to his friends on the quiet floors of Bird. We see you. We know you. And yes, indeed we loathe you.

3. Trying to reach the word count on your 10+ page research thesis.

4. Every person's thought process as they're crossing intersections on campus and would rather die than study for their next exam.

5. The feeling when you have two finals back to back in one day and you're high on caffeine and self-loathing.

6. The feeling of knowing that the holidays and winter break are just around the corner but you still have finals week in the way.

7. Walking into your final with zero hours of sleep and a shit ton of regret and self-loathing.

8. When your professor says that this is not an essay/take-home exam/final project that can be done in one night.

9. When you KNOW you should be studying but laying in bed eating Easy Mac and watching Netflix sounds that much more appealing.

10. Nothing compares to that feeling of walking out of your last exam and knowing that you finally can sleep, eat to your hearts desire and reunite with you family and friends back home.


Best of luck on your finals, and enjoy your winter break!

Happy holidays!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
