Test (Hell) Week As Told By 'The Office'

It comes in waves. At first, everything is fine. You have ample free time which you, of course, use to go out or binge watch "Criminal Minds." Then, suddenly, the ground falls from under you. It's that time of the month again, test week. For whatever reason, it seems professors enjoy planning all exams, papers, and projects in the same week. This is what test week feels like, as told by "The Office."

1. You actually look at your syllabus'.

Test week comes when you least expect it. You spend the Sunday before it lounging around, and just to be a safe and responsible student you check your class schedules Sunday night. Three tests, one quiz, two papers, all in one week. I'm fine, everything's fine.

2. Denial sets in.

Having five million tests in one week isn't a big deal anyways. I sometimes go to class so I'll be fine, I don't need to study.

3. You try to start studying, but your brain just isn't having it.

Why would I study when I could organize my socks by color and pattern?

4. You accept imminent failure.

Who needs college, anyways? Steve Jobs didn't go to college and he did just fine. Also, stripping is a real thing.

5. You decide you don't want to drop out and start studying again.

But how does one study when they know nothing?

6. You are approaching the day of your first exam and start to feel prepared.

Maybe the occasional five minutes of studying paid off? Maybe I got dumber in those five minutes of studying? Only time will tell.

7. Your first series of exams were a flop.

Nowhere but up from here for the rest of the semester. Right?

8. This exam week is over, but you will never truly recover from the pain it caused.

The exam grades have been posted. Your morale is low. And to make things better, in 3 short weeks, exam week will return.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season.

So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.
