Finals Week As Told By Michael Scott

I understand nothing.

Finals Week As Told By Michael Scott
NY Mag

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

Just kidding, it’s finals week. While everyone else is free to Christmas shop and get in the holiday spirit, college students are running around in a frenzy, leaving trails of essay drafts and empty coffee cups behind us. We’re running on nothing but eight shots of espresso and a suffocating sense of anxiety. Half of us forget to eat dinner because we’re too busy writing or studying. The only one who really understands us now is Michael Scott from The Office. Here’s a little glimpse into our crazy lives at the moment:

When all of a sudden you have four papers due at once and no idea how to write them all in time:


When someone asks how your semester is going when you’ve been studying for 16 hours straight:

When you show up to your first final exam and barely have the energy to pick up your pencil:

Presentations are the last priority, so you just start throwing information into slides and hoping for the best:

When your final is cumulative and you try to study, but you already forgot everything from the beginning of the semester:

When you’re swamped with work in every class and have no one to blame but yourself:

When your brain is fried and you literally can’t understand what you’re even looking at anymore:

When you’re down to your last $20 and all you want to do is buy more coffee:

When finals are over and you run home for winter break as fast as you can:

Finals are a rough time, indeed, but The Office makes everything better. Good luck to everyone; the end is in sight!

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
