Back To School As Told By 'The Mindy Project'
Geeky News

It's that time of year again for college students. Yep, back to school. After three months of a pure blissful summer (that is if you haven't taken summer classes) it's now time to start off the fall semester. And what better way to illustrate the joys of starting off the new school year than with "The Mindy Project." Which by the way, if you've never watched, or have heard of this show, you are seriously missing out. The main character, Mindy Lahiri always knows exactly what to say in certain situations.

There's no such thing as a "Syllabus Week."

In fact, there's no such thing as a syllabus day. You always start off a class thinking that it will take the professor the entire time to review the syllabus, when in reality, they go over it for about 30 seconds before moving on to Chapter One.

When those 8:00 am classes start to roll around.

You might actually try getting ready for the first day of class. Maybe even the first week of classes. But then as the semester progresses, you manage to just roll out of bed, throw on a pair of sweatpants and call it good.

You are no longer a Freshman, but the Freshman 15 is still very a much a thing for you.

This is usually the case for the students that are on a meal plan and get mostly stuck eating dining hall food. But when you're a broke college student, you manage to just get by with some Ramen noodles and Eggo waffles. Yeah it's unhealthy, but it's cheap.

Having to deal with the school WiFi.

It's frustrating to deal with campus WiFi, especially when you're trying to do homework and your internet randomly loses connection. Thanks WiFi, you're the best.

When it starts getting colder.

As soon as the weather starts transitioning, you start to release your inner basic white girl with some leggings and yoga pants. Pumpkin Spice Latte not included.

You're already thinking about winter break.

Is it time for Christmas yet?

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.
