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!

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
