Taking Summer Classes As Told By "The Office"

Taking Summer Classes As Told By "The Office"
Giphy

If there's anyone who knows about the monotony of everyday life, it's both college students taking summer classes and the characters of NBC's "The Office." Dunder Mifflin may not be the most exciting place to work, but the characters from "The Office" know how to make the best out of a bad situation, just like college students. Here are the stages of taking summer classes, as told by "The Office."


1. You stock up on alcohol that will last the six week term.

2. You realize that your friends are no longer in town and you're all alone.

3. How you feel all day, every day.

4. You're able to identify every person in your lecture hall because there are so few people.

5. You're able to find a parking spot on campus that you'd never be able to claim during fall.

6. You force the one person you know that's still in town to go out with you.

7. You start working out again so you can get that summer bod.

8. You might even sign up for an IM sport out of boredom (even though you're terrible at team sports).

9. You start to check things off of your bucket list, like trying that exotic restaurant in town.

10. Or download Tinder, because, why not?

11. You try to look attentive in class, but all you can think about is that your friends are studying abroad and doing cool stuff without you.

12. The second your three hour lecture ends, you cannot get out of that class fast enough.

13. If someone asks you to do literally anything, your answer is always the same.

14. You don't even think it's weird to go out multiple nights a week, even though you would never do that during fall or spring.

15. But after too many nights out on the town, you suddenly couldn't care less about going out and retreat home every night to watch Netflix.

16. Your lack of care for anything begins to take a toll on your appearance.

17. Everything's great! Until the moment you remember that you actually have schoolwork to do.

18. You try to give yourself a pep talk, but you know it's already too late.

19. You start to reconsider that decision of taking the hardest class in your major over a six week term.

20. You lose your damn mind (but it's okay, because there's literally no one in your college town to hear you scream and cry).

21. But then, all of your hard work actually pays off and you ace all of your summer classes.

22. As you pack up to go home, you can't believe summer term is already over.

23. You look back and realize summer term really wasn't that bad after all.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
