What better way to near the end of the semester by perusing through memes from one of the greatest intellectual shows to hit the silver screen.

Here are some typical college semester moments explained by memes from Aaron Sorkin's "The West Wing."

1. When your alarm goes off for the first time since break ended.

2. That moment when you succumb to looking up research for that research paper.


3. When your professor calls on you and you don’t have the slightest idea of what you should say.


4. When someone asks you, “How did your test go?” And you know it didn’t go well. But at the same time, you don't want to talk about it.


5. What you silently think when you tell your professor they made a mistake or gave the wrong answer.


6. When someone else finally admits they were wrong about something you were arguing about.


7. Your thoughts about exercise during hell week, midterm week, or finals.


8. When you peer edit someone else’s paper.


9. When you get writer's block.


10. When you get the giggles during a presentation or class and cannot control it.


11. When hell week sneaks up on you.


12. Your attitude about life during hell, midterms or finals week.

13. When you realize you have multiple tests, practicals, papers and group projects in one week.

14. When hell week or final week is finally over.

15. The moment right before you take a test, practical or final.

16. When you don’t actually have a quiz or test on the day you thought you did and you studied for it.

17. When you finished one paper, but have to write another one. But refuse to do it.


18. When that one person asks what you got as a grade.


19. When someone clearly did not put effort into their presentation and the professor starts to berate them.


20. When you volunteer to be the first to present your project or paper.


21. And then you slay that presentation.


22. When someone disturbs you when you are doing homework.


23. When you are trying to get your friends out of your room so you can get work done.


24. When the person who thinks they know more than the professor asks a question.

25. When you know that if you studied more- you would have done better on that test.

26. When you walk into your professor’s office and know it is not going to be a quick visit.


27. What your professor says to you as you leave their office.


28. When someone gives that look when you order pizza at 12 a.m.


29. When you get a way better grade than expected.


30. When you fall asleep in a study room.


31. When you forget that you had a quiz, test or homework.


32. Every tutor session, ever.


33. When you have a friend that already took the difficult class that you’re taking.


34. When you leave your quaddmate or roommate for break.

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.
