15 Times Andy Dwyer Defined My Senior Year of College

We don't know what we're doing, but we know we're doing it really well

15 Times Andy Dwyer Defined My Senior Year of College
Anna McFarland

Ok, so I'm going to go out on a limb and make a bold statement here; Andy Dwyer is one of the absolute best characters on television (also in the running: the whole Parks & Rec crew, Schmidt from New Girl and Michael Scott).

Whether you have a relationship with Andy Dwyer's character or not, you can probably relate to the emotional roller coaster that is your senior year of college. One day everything is fine and life is rolling on as usual. The next day everyone asks what you're doing with you life, you realize you aren't prepared and you have a mental breakdown.

If you are in your last semester or last year of college right now, take a few minutes to relax and laugh at how accurately Andy Dwyer quotes define this crazy season of life we're in!

When post-grad depression hits


When you try to remember the things you've learned over the past 4 years


When you finally finish the job application you've been working on for two months


Trying to save money because you're getting cut off financially


When professors tell you about the working world


When you try to switch to adult mode in conversations


When everyone in existence is asking you what you're going to do with your degree


When your professors lecture you about not trying hard enough in your final semester

When you aren't motivated to work out but you try to get back in the gym


*In an interview - "What are your qualifications for this position?"


When you realize how much things actually cost


When your college friendships begin to feel distant


When you have to start learning how to cook


When all your super smart friends are explaining their 5-year plan after college


When you reflect on your choice of major


Thank you, Andy Dwyer, for being my favorite character on television, the inspiration for my graduation cap decoration, and a light guiding us to the end of the most stressful year of our lives.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
