Applying to grad school is a stressful process, to say the least. From studying for entrance exams to writing a personal statement, you're running through about a thousand different emotions at a time. Who better to describe this wonderful time of your life than Michael J. Scott?

1. Studying for entrance exams:

You didn't know this level of confusion existed.


2. Anxiously waiting for your test scores to come in...


3. Realizing you never have to take that god-forsaken test again:

I'm burning all of my books!


4. Coming to the realization that you're not an interesting enough of a person to write a personal statement about:

What qualifies as interesting?


5. When you find out that each school wants a different personal statement:


6. Getting a false sense of confidence after you've sent in all of your applications


7. Then having all of that confidence shattered after seeing your application "in review" for three weeks straight...


8. Actually finding out you have options and then stressing about where to go:


You're actually accepted, now what?

9. Finally accepting the fact that you're going to grad school:

10. Now, being completely over your classes because you finally made it!!!!!!

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.

So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
