30 Thoughts On Going Off To College

As told by Michael Scott

30 Thoughts On Going Off To College

I've been waiting for this moment my entire life, so when I realized that I only had three months, and graduation day was right around the corner I had a *little* bit of an existential crisis. So what else would a person do other than sit and re-watch The Office in it's entirety? Then I noticed, Michael Scott understands the struggle (and blessing) of change. HE went from managing The Scranton branch, to Michael Scott Paper Company. From Jan, to Holly. The man has done it all. This helped me, I hope it helps you too.

How is this already here. I'm not ready.

How am I going to afford this


What if I don't make any friends?


What if my friends have so much fun without me at home

I don't need friends, I can be a lone wolf

No, you need friends, you will make friends.

I'm a baby when I hurt myself, I hope my roommate will be OK with that.

I'm ready, I can do this. I'll be fine.

WHY IS EVERYTHING SO EXPENSIVE

What if I hate it

I'll be on my own

Oh my goodness, I'll be able to eat whatever, whenever

I'm going to have to leave my pets behind

Who should my role model be?

Since I won't live at home, I won't need to mow the lawn

What if my roommate is a serial killer?

-Disclaimer: I know that this isn't Micheal Scott, but it was perfect for this very situation-

Calm down, they won't be a serial killer

But what if they don't talk

We'll be best friends

How will I call and complain to my mom about people she's never met?

I'll miss my mom

I should stop getting sentimental, this isn't good for anybody

At least I get to go dorm shopping

MY SISTER WON'T BE THERE TO STEAL MY STUFF

What if I have to drop out because I can't afford it

How do you dance at parties?

I could become somebody totally different

I'll have to run to keep off the freshman 15

I hate running

I can't wait I'm so excited

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
