The Last Month Of Your Second Semester In College, As Told by Jim Halpert
NBC

We all know college is rough but nothing is rougher than the last month before you finally get released to have some fun in the sun. When I need to relieve stress, I always turn to The Office for a well-needed laugh and no one relates it better than Jim Halpert himself. Here are some relatable Jim moments from The Office that help me feel like I'm not alone in my struggle.

Being so done weeks before you are actually done with classes

It's fine. I'm fine. I'm over it.

Staying up all night trying to finish that project, then trying to stay awake in class the next day

You haven't put in effort all semester, so now you pay the price.

Trying to participate in group assignments but being completely uninterested

You need to get a good peer review though!

Suddenly you have 5 papers, 3 projects, and 4 tests all in the same week that you definitely didn't see coming

The teacher brings out the final exam review guides and games and you don't recognize anything

When was this covered? Where are my notes? What is my life?

Eventually walking into the final and simply hoping for the best

Could you have studied more? Yes, but sometimes Taco Bell and Netflix are more important.

Then walking out, realizing you nailed it and are ready to take on summer break!

All the stress is over, and it is time to relax and enjoy some endless free time.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
