It’s the final stretch. There’s only one week to go before spring break, but standing in the way are piles and piles of papers, midterms, speeches, and presentations. Yet, somehow, many students often find themselves sitting in bed, devouring Easy Mac, and binge watching shows on Netflix. In honor of TV shows that help us all procrastinate far more than we should, here’s the last week of school before break perfectly described by NBC’s "The Office."
1. You realize spring break starts next weekend.
2. But you still have a ton of work to do.
3. You look at your planner and see multiple tests on the same day.
4. After studying for 10 minutes.
5. You spend hours and hours in the library on a gorgeous day.
6. Examining your chances of finally starting a massive project.
7. Talking to your partner for a group project who doesn’t finish their share of the work.
8. Professors assign reading the same day as a major paper.
9. Your friend complains about how many midterms they have.
10. Your feelings toward a professor when they say a paper has been postponed.
11. Seeing friends at different colleges already on break.
12. Starting a presentation the day before it’s due.
13. Running on three hours of sleep every night.
(Cheeseballs usually included)
14. Your brain as you walk up to deliver a speech.
15. Starting an essay response with three minutes left in the exam.
16. Your thinking as you struggle to remember key facts and dates.
17. When the one thing you don’t study is the main topic on the test.
18. But then you're walking out of your final test.
19. Turning in that last paper.
20. Before finally celebrating the official start of break.
To everyone out there still getting through that last week -- stay strong and try to stay off Netflix, but remember to reward yourself for all your hard work!
