20 Times 'Parks And Recreation' Accurately Described College Life

Let's all be honest with ourselves, college is hard. It's like a whirlwind of fear, nerves, and excitement all rolled into one. And, as college students, there are things that everyone has experienced at least once. Whether it's forgetting to do your assignment due at midnight or making yourself look foolish, we've all been there. If you say you haven't experienced them, you're either lying or very lucky.

1. When the professor goes from an introduction to chapter 1 notes on the first day.

It's like the professor knows exactly how to simultaneously torture every student in the room.

2. When you ask your friend to go out on a Thursday night.

I know I have a chemistry exam tomorrow, but I REALLY want to.

3. When you answer a question right in class and your TA tells you "Nice job!"

Sure, the question may not have been rocket science, but it's the effort that counts.

4. When your 8 a.m. class gets cancelled.

Two extra hours of sleep is practically unheard of!

5. When you try to talk to the cute boy in your class and make a fool of yourself.

The conversation went nowhere near the way it was supposed to go when you planned it out in your head.

6. When your friend asks if you want to take a break from studying to get Starbucks.

You don't have to ask me twice, I am always down for a Starbucks run.

7. When you check your grades after midterms.

Could your professor not bump your grade from a 43 to an 85? So selfish.

8. When you're so tired, you can nap anywhere.

Sleep is necessary wherever and whenever you can get it.

9. When your parents send you money.

I'm not saying I spent all my money on food and coffee, but I'm also not denying that's what I spent it on.

10. When you get sick for the first time.

All I need is NyQuil and my mom. Please don't talk to me until I have them.

11. When you're the mom of your friend group for the night and everyone keeps thanking you.

I will take one for the team this weekend, but I'm going to be the wild one next weekend .

12. When you have something due at 11:59 p.m. but you keep finding ways to procrastinate.

It is extremely important that I watch this 22-minute video about using your arms as knitting needles to make a blanket right now, even though I have no idea how to knit.

13. When you get an A on an exam.

Has this actually happened to anyone? Let me know.

14. When the most annoying person in class makes a joke.

Okay, it was a little funny, but the 52 annoying comments you made before this really made me hate you a little bit.

15. When you go to office hours and your professor isn't there.

Why have office hours if you aren't going to be there for them? Does that make zero sense to anyone but me?

16. When you and your friends get together after a long week.

FINALLY, some time to take a group nap.

17. When you and your roomie are thriving in your classes.

You both went to every single one this week. Where's your medal?

18. When you have to walk through a campus tour.

Why do seniors in high school seem so young all of the sudden?

19. When people ask you if you ever even go to class.

Please, don't call me out like this. It's so early.

20. When you go home and finally get to eat food that isn't Ramen or Easy Mac.

Food is just better when your mom makes it.

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.

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.
