Finals Week Activities

Meme Battle

Entries accepted now through 5/7 (11:59pm)

What better way to relieve some end-of-semester stress than making memes? Make an Office-themed meme related to finals or the end of the semester (keep it clean!) using one of the templates we have provided or use one of your own. We will share all of the memes on our Instagram story starting 5/8 where you will vote for the winner! EVERYONE who enters will win an Office-themed sticker for each entry.

How to play:

  1. Design your own meme(s) that somehow incorporate The Office and finals week. Remember to keep it clean! Inappropriate memes submitted will not count towards earning the sticker prize.
  2. Submit your meme(s) by 11:59pm on May 7th either by sending it via direct message (DM) on Instagram to @HooverLibMcDaniel or using the form below:

Meme Templates

Download and edit one of the templates below or use one of your own! Just remember to keep it clean.

Pet-Grams are back!

Feeling stressed? Know someone who would appreciate a pick-me-up? Send yourself, a friend, professor, or colleague some love and support in the form of a Finals Week Pet-Gram, courtesy of Hoover Library!

Each pet-gram will feature a photograph of an adorable pet (your choice of dog or cat) in the HooverLib or KPETS families. Include a customized message of your own or have us include a kind and supportive message for you. See the request form below for an example Pet-Gram.

There is no limit on pet-gram request, so send as many as you wish! Requests will be accepted through May 7th at 11:59pm. Pet-Grams will be sent via email OR Instagram Direct Message (DM) on the Monday or Tuesday of Finals Week (5/9 or 5/10).
