Senioritis As Told By Kevin Malone From 'The Office'

How it feels to be a senior in the words of Kevin.

The Office

With the month of May fast approaching, and graduations looming on the ever so close horizon, being stuck in a classroom and trying to cram in the content matter for the last semester of college is far from the minds of seniors. Especially this guy. Senioritis hit hard, and senioritis during my 5th year of college is hitting me even harder. So in the words of Kevin Malone from "The Office," I will now attempt to convey the feelings I have every day I crawl into class.

1. Is it May yet? IS IT SUMMER???

Every time there is an assignment due, every time there is a deadline, every time there is an argument in class or discussion... Wait, did you say group project?

2. You think she's cute, don't you?

Because still having crushes in class is acceptable, right?

3. I need time for my body to adjust to the shock of still being in this class

This class is going on 2 hours, there had better be a break in here somewhere. I am sure it's federal law. And by the way, I work hard browsing Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, sleeping, etc.

4. The ever so dreaded question, "What are your plans after college?"

So what are my goals after college? What will I do after I graduate? Nothing, that's what.

5. Who wants to party? Not me. Not any more.

Being at a house party but realizing that you are much too old for this tomfoolery. Seriously, why am I even here? Are these freshmen?

6. Revenge is a dish best served senior year

When the idiot in the group project who has been MIA finally sends a text asking what they can do to help. It's senior year, karma's a real bitch and your destiny is my hands. Prepare to be made to look like the biggest idiot in the class.

7. Trying to salvage your rapidly descending GPA

I'm going to get A's this semester. Ok, maybe B's. Actually, I am fine with C's, I'm just trying to graduate. This accurately describes how most seniors handle on life right now.

Now you know what it's like to be in your last semester of senior year. It is not pretty. It is ugly and it will chew you up and spit you back out. It knows no mercy and makes everyone its victim. But that's ok. You will survive when it's your turn. Until then, enjoy your college career because the looming cliff of graduation is fast approaching.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
