As August comes to a close and September begins, most of us have already been back to college for at least week. If your week was anything like mine, you know what a struggle it was to transition from binge watching Netflix for hours to attending hours of classes. There's a lot of adjusting to be done, such as moving your entire life back into a dorm room and juggling your new schedule of classes, extra curricular activities, and friends. It can be mega stressful. Bring on the coffee and the naps! Anyway, I spent all of May binge-watching The Office, and I can't believe I didn't sooner considering now I can't spend a day without quoting it or tagging my friends in memes on Instagram. If you know me, it's not surprising that it was my inspiration for this article because my love for the show is endless. If you haven't watched already you need to, trust me. Here's 25 ways you feel during the first week back to school as told by the Office.
1.That face you make when your alarm goes off in the morning on the first day.
2. Sitting through your first lecture like...
3. When you see your friends you haven't seen all summer. :-)
4. When you're really feeling yourself in that first day outfit.
5. When the professor jumps from the syllabus to chapter one on the first day.
6. *After going over the syllabus* Professor: Any questions?
7. And of course, when you go over the syllabus in class and then get to leave right after.
8. When you get your first homework assignment.
9. And it has to be a certain number of words.
10. When you're asked by the Professor in class the next day how it went.
11. When you check your bank account after buying your textbooks.
12. When you're asked to tell the class a little bit about yourself.
13. Waiting in the long lines to eat lunch like...
14. And when you have to get used to eating cafeteria food again.
15. Answering a question right in class like...
16. Week one and you're already tired of looking nice, so sweatpants it is.
17. When you realize you can make questionable life choices again because FREEDOM.
18. Anticipating all the hard work you're going to have to do this semester.
19. When someone asks you how your new classes are.
20. When you're asked to do a strengths and weaknesses exercise.
21. When someone asks what you did all summer.
22. Giving yourself a pep talk for this semester like...
