Thoughts During Finals Week as Told by 'The Office'

Finals week is when every stressful moment from the semester comes back to haunt you. Unfortunately, it is a natural right of passage throughout our undergraduate and graduate careers, and a necessary evil that we have to pay in exchange for other great, stress-free memories. However, that doesn't mean we can't complain about it. Here are some thoughts most college students have when finals week is looming, as told by some of the funniest characters in our Netflix queue.


1. When you're in a study group and they keep getting distracted.

2. When the professor confirms the final is indeed cumulative.

3. When you abbreviate all of your study guides and your friends question your methods.

4. When you took a history class for an easy A and are completely regretting your decision once you have to write a 10 page essay.

5. When you could have sworn that you had three more days left to study, but you realize the final is tomorrow.

6. When you procrastinate but are still able to learn sixteen chapters in one night somehow.

7. When you're the only one of your friends still at the library.

8. Your only source of comfort is going to the de-stressing events where you can pet the puppies and feel like all is right with the world.

9. When you have been studying for so long that you seem to lose all connection with the society you formerly belonged to.

10. But nothing can compare to the feeling when you walk out of your last final and realize that your parents are picking you up in an hour.

Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
