The End of The Semester As Told By 'Arrested Development'

"I've made a huge mistake..."

The End of The Semester As Told By 'Arrested Development'

The time has finally come where the semester is winding down to a well-deserved end. But of course the last two weeks of the semester are more awful than the other 18 weeks combined because now is the time when every professor realizes they've only assigned one relevant project, quiz or test all semester and scrambles to teach you 10 weeks of material in three classes.

With that being said, I thought there was no show with characters more in shambles than you are right now than Arrested Development. So here's your final weeks of the semester as told my Michael Bluth & Co...

1. Your initial reaction to realizing there's only 16 or so days left of class.

...immediately followed by the realization you have final projects/papers you never even gave a second look.

and then realizing they're all due on the exact same day

(moral of this is that many, many mistakes were made)

2. Finding out your finals are cumulative...

...and worth a cool 40% of your overall grade for the class.

3. Thinking you've got everything under control like...

4. Trying to decide between going out and staying in to study

5. When you finish one paper only to realize you still have 2+ more

6. When all your friends get to go home early but your finals aren't over yet

7. Overall trying to keep your cool even though you're drowning in assignments

8. When you're just trying to keep things on the lighter side

9. When you're just trying to calm the nerves before an exam

10. Asking your professor to round up your grade like

11. Trying (and failing) to avoid your responsibilities like...

12. Getting your first exam grade back

13. When it's finally all over and you can go home to your dog

With all that being said, best of luck to you for finals (and pre-finals) week! And worst case scenario if college doesn't work out for you just remember...

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.
