Welcome week has come and gone, and syllabus week feels like a distant memory. Now, college students everywhere have to face an overload of assignments, tests, and projects that seem to have come out of nowhere. Some call it the end of the world (OK, maybe that's just me), others call it the one name that makes every student cringe at the mere sound of it: midterms. While the experience is less than pleasant, take comfort in knowing that students nationwide are feeling your pain right now. And, though none of us may have time to binge-watch The Office on Netflix like we want to, there are some moments when the show described exactly how we college students handle our midterm struggle.


Checking your course calendar and the word MIDTERMS is all over this week.



Asking a TA for help when you know you should've gone to group study.



When you've read the same paragraph twice and still don't understand.



That one professor who refuses to curve his exams.


Finding any and every distraction to avoid studying.



When it's Thirsty Thursday but you have an exam Friday morning.


Waking up at 5 am to study for said exam.



Knowing the answer to the first question and feeling like a boss.



But then realizing you have no clue how to answer the next three.


The one student who walks in late and distracts everyone.


Walking out of the exam feeling like you blacked out.



But then you realize this means midterms are finally over.


Celebrating because you (finally) have a life again.


Students nationwide, rejoice. While midterms may be sucking the life out of you, each paper, quiz, and exam brings you closer to the end of the quarter.... Which means winter break is near.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
