College: As Told By The Office

We all know college is a weird time in the life of students. You're in a place you don't know, with people you don't know, doing things you don't know. Let's face it, working for a life we don't know. College is one gigantic question mark. But that's okay, because we're all just wandering around this place, bumping into things, falling down stairs, staying up way too late, laughing way too loud, playing "what are the odds," and eating too much junk food, together. In a lot of ways, the randomness of The Office perfectly parallels with the craziness that is college.

1. When you have to buy everything for yourself

Well, most things... Thanks dad!

2. When you try to find a group to belong to

You'll be shocked by how much you can change around different people.

3. Rolling into class on a test day and wondering who these people are

How are they prepared for this?! They haven't come to a single lecture!

4. When you keep getting distracted in lecture

No one wants to listen to a four-hour-lecture about nutrition. Fun fact: I'm writing this in said four-hour-nutrition-lecture.

5. When you decide to dress up for class

Those days to happen, and when they do, dang. People will talk to you that have never talked to you before. Which is both cool, and terrifying.

6. When you get put with idiots on a group project


It'll happen, hopefully it's only once. But be prepared, the questions they ask make you want to pull your hair out.

7. When you don't read the book and try to act like you know what's going on

Sometimes you're just too busy, but seriously though, do your readings, it helps. A lot.

8. When you're trying to convince people you "hang loose"

But in reality you're an uptight book worm, or you sleep literally all the time.

9. When you did super bad on a test, but your friend got an A

Not like you're bitter or anything...

10. When you had a bad day and just want to unwind

Maybe cuz that one friend did super good and you got a 60.

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.

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
