Finals Weeks Told By The Office

We all hate the week of finals and we can all relate to Micheal Scott.

Finals Weeks Told By The Office
az616578.vo.msecnd

For all the college students, the next couple weeks are horrid. We're tired, cranky, hungry, and contemplate our life decisions that lead us to take this career path. Because we're all riding the struggle buss, why not laugh about it with The Office?


First off, finals creeps up on you.

Even though you know from the first day of class when the final is, somehow it still creeps up unexpectedly.

When you notice how many assignments are due.

Why does there always seem to be a mountain pile of assignments due last minute? It's not fun.


When people ask how you are doing...


When professor tells you, it's an easy exam.

Especially when they're an angel sent straight from above and give you a review packet on everything that will be on the exam.


When you get the Study Guide and realize the professor lied.

Then you always get that one professor who thinks easy is a 50+ page review packet. You might as well have told us to memorize the entire textbook. Not only is this a mini booklet you call a study guideenough, the questions I have to answer make me want to pull my hair out.

Start to study and you don't remember learning any of the material.

Even if you never missed a class or hardly any at all, there's always that one class where you look at the Things To Know list and have no idea what any of it means.


So you convince yourself you can do this.

We get confident. We pump ourselves up even though we want to run and hide because we, (apparently) need this class to get a degree. Plus, these classes make us broke so we would prefer for it to not let it defeat us in another area.

When you just want to quit.

We are hungry, tired, stressed out, and our brain is on overload... we all break down.


So you start a dance party because you need a mental break.

Who wouldn't love a dance party? Turn up the music, put your happy dance pants on and dance the final freak outs away.

It's even better when you're friends join you.

A dance party is fun but when your friends join in, it's even better. We're all in this together; so lets dance.

Then after many drinks, reality comes back

When your many drinks in and the night starts to slow down, something triggers your brain to make you remember all the work you still have to do. Talk about a buzz kill.

Final Freak Out is back.

Just like that, emotions start rolling in like a flood and you're back to wondering what you're going to do with your life.


Then comes the final exam where we all are internally losing our minds.

The day we all dread yet cannot be ready enough for it to be over. We have a love/hate relationship with day. Either way, I guarantee that we are all doing this inside?

When the weight that is lifted from your shoulders after is a glorious feeling.

TIME TO CELEBRATE!


To all of the broke college kids, this week is hard. Wear your sweatpants to class that you've been wearing for a couple days, no one will judge you. We are all struggling. It's only a couple weeks and then we have absolutely no homework, papers, labs, classes.. we have nothing that has to be done. When it's all said and done, we're closer to that degree so have a drink or three. You have earned it. Do whatever you want, whenever you want.

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.
