Going Back To School As Told By The Office

The staff of Dunder Mifflin in Scranton, Pennsylvania can relate to getting back to school and starting the new semester more than you'd expect.

I have no idea what took me so long to hop on board of watching The Office, but now that I have I can't seem to stop. Since I have returned to school from break that lasted over a month, the most productive thing I have done is watch about four seasons of the show. The beginning of the semester is undoubtedly the best and easiest part, and the amount of work accomplished is equivalent to the amount of work Michael Scott gets done on an average day at Dunder Mifflin: none. Luckily the staff at Dunder Mifflin in Scranton, Pennsylvania is able to relate to all that comes with getting back to school to start the new semester.

1. Being reunited with your friends

A month is just way too long.

2. When you miss your dog the second you pull out of your driveway

Only about two million more seconds until we are reunited.

3. When it's syllabus week, AKA the best week of the semester

4. When the professors let you leave class early because they only planned to go over the syllabus


Do not take advantage of this beautiful moment, evacuate the classroom ASAP.

5. When you have THAT professor that starts teaching on the first day

Who made you this way?

6. When you and your friends are in the same class

I'd like to apologize in advance to the professor who does not know what he's in for.

7. When the second week of school starts and all of the work piles on at once

So much for that New Year's resolution of starting everything early.

Best of luck to everyone at the start of the new semester!

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:

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.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
