Test Week As Told By The Office

"I'm running away from my responsibilities and it feels good." - Michael Scott

Test Week As Told By The Office

It's the middle of the first round of tests, but let's be real - test weeks don't really stop from now until the end of the semester. The good ol' days of summer are fading faster than our summer tans and our brains are running on more cups of coffee than hours we are sleeping. (Or maybe that's just me.) Well, anyways, The Office tends to nail life's everyday emotions when it comes to school, studying, and tests.

When someone you've never seen in class before suddenly starts showing up, and then has the audacity to ask for the notes...from every lecture of the year.

Summer...it's gone, but not forgotten. Let's be real, y'all. The only thing on our mind right now is the beaches we were laying on just over a month ago, but reality says that we have four tests, two papers, and one presentation this week.

When the professor starts giving a "review," but it turns out that he's just telling you all of the PowerPoint information again. It was hard enough to sit through them the first time, but now I have to look over all of them again? Okay, fine. I'll do it. But I will not be happy about it.

After 2 all-nighters, emotions grow a mind of their own. From the outside looking in, you just can't explain it.

"Hey, how are you?" "I'm fine, it's fine, school is fine."

When it's test week(s), all bets are off and ice cream at anytime of the day is totally acceptable.

When it comes to studying, you know what you have to get done and what is necessary to succeed. Yet at the same time we really have no idea how to study, what class we're studying for, or what scantron we need for the test tomorrow morning.

Strongly considering the Q drop, but I already know all of the "valuable" knowledge that would simply go to waste if I was to not complete the course.

When you ask the professor what to expect on the test, and he hits you with the classic, "Read the syllabus." And then after checking it, find out that your midterm is over eight chapters. Wonderful.


Walking into class the day of the test. Trying to find your assigned seat. Preparing for the worst, but desperately hoping for the best. C's get degrees, right?

When you thought you failed the test, but somehow pulled a decent grade.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
