Whether you realize it or not, 30 Rock actually describes the average college student's life perfectly. Unfortunately this wonderful show is over, but it is still extremely relatable.

Waking up for that Monday morning 8 a.m.

....and then going back to bed for the rest of the day and feeling like this:

Starting to realize how much money you are actually spending and acting like you're okay with it:

Every time a couple of your friends do something fun together and don't invite you:

Dealing with your roommates stealing your food as calmly and as rationally as you can:

Whenever someone stops you and tries to hand you a flier for some weird event:

Enjoying your complete and utter lack of parental supervision:

When it's the weekend and you're trying to relax but someone brings up the three tests and two papers you have next week:

Getting all dressed up to go out and having your friends cancel at the last minute:

When you're obsessively following a fight on Yik Yak but then it fizzles out:

Trying to figure out what you want to do with your life:

Whenever something bad happens and you need to confide in someone that you can trust:

After a particularly long and grueling week:

Seeing and ~tactfully~ avoiding high schoolers on tours of campus:

Taking a class on a foreign language that you took in high school and thinking you will breeze right through it but then you try to speak:

What taking a nap actually means:

Planning a party:

Finals week:

When you complete one small task successfully:

Trying to write a research paper with some pretty iffy sources:

When you *finally* score that on-campus job you wanted:

When you try to use the money on your student account at a restaurant close to campus but they say they don't accept it:

When family members ask you what your plans are post-graduation:

When it's 3 a.m. and you're still in the library and nowhere near done with the copious amount of homework that is due tomorrow:

Developing a very special relationship with Netflix:

Remembering that nutrition and fitness are super important:

Coming back from a break and realizing that you forgot everything you learned before you left:

When you're drunk and you sneak past the RA without getting in trouble:

Making sure to set aside time during the day to catch up with the people that matter most:

Walking into a big test that you didn't study for:

Trying to comfort your stressed out friends:

When you're about to fall asleep and you remember that you have homework due tomorrow that you didn't do:

Realizing that, despite how stressful it can be, your time in college has been the best of your life and it will all eventually come to an end:

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
