Michael Gary Scott, you are- in the strangest way- one of the wisest characters to grace our television or computer screens. Thank you for accurately describing all the ups and downs of college life.
1. When this disturbing realization hits you
Whoa. Your whole perspective on life just took a 180. No more parents to keep you on track or make you food. Whoa. You're free.
2. Skimming through your syllabuses and mentally preparing yourself for the semester
3. And then when you go to your classes and all you can think is
Hahahaha remember when you thought you were maybe a little smart in high school???
4. But hey, you know you always have your friends to go through it with you
Solidarity is key!
5. Wishing you could go up to some of your professors and let them know what's really on your mind
6. Learning the best way to relieve stress is always this
Puppies. Puppies. PUPPIES.
7. Or this
8. Being in a study group with your friend who actually understands what you're learning in class usually ends up like this
God bless those friends who have willpower and are not online shopping during lectures
9. ...Or like this
There is no in between. You and your friends either get it or you don't.
10. The importance of trying to stay hopeful during your mid-semester slump
Sometimes the best things can come from the worst times.
11. Midterms. Week.
Enough said.
12. When you find your new show on Netflix that you just can't tear yourself away from
Some days we're good and allow ourselves to only watch 2 episodes, and then some days we need to watch 10. It's all about balance.
13. When you think you did really well on an exam but then you find out your grade
14. Essay writing 101
You just gotta hope you'll find it along the way!
15. Taking those college requirement classes that have nothing to do with your major
I hate math. Why do I need to take math. I am never going to use this in my chosen career path.
16. Studying in the library for so long that you begin to lose touch with the outside world
17. Then going out and trying to reintegrate yourself back into the world
Was that not an acceptable thing to say?
18. When your professor emails you to add something a little extra to your coursework
19. The minute that your least favorite class or last class of the day ends
Your stuff was probably packed and ready to go 15 minutes before class ended.
20. That one class that makes you question everything you've ever learned in your life
21. Drowning in so many assignments that you are physically, mentally, and emotionally not ready to start them
22. Then while doing all of said assignments
23. But then you go out with your best friend and have such a good time you forget about all your responsibilities
Or just being with your best friend in general, they will always be there to ease the burden of college life.
24. And discovering your true self
Amen.
