Success in college can sometimes be hard to come by. There's so much going on all of the time, it's easy to get lost in the chaos. One moment everything is fine and you have all A's and your high school body, the next you're struggling to bring that D up to at least a C+, wondering why your favorite jeans won't zip up all the way. Needless to say, surviving college is hard. The Office characters break down some quick tips to ensure utmost success:

1. Try to leave all of your work until the night before it's due.

That way, all of your motivation will be directed towards your work, and you will be able to get it done faster. Procrastination is always the answer.

2. People love it when you make a scene wherever you go.

They think it's really funny and gain so much respect for you. It really shows how cool you are.

3. Professors encourage you to interrupt their lectures to ask a bunch of irrelevant questions.

That way, they know you're social and interested in engaging with them during class time.

4. Feel free to sleep in on a test day once in a while.

Sleep is a necessity, so if you're not getting enough, skip that 8 AM class that just happens to have a test scheduled for the day. Your professor will understand. They were in college once, too.

5. If you want to play your music on that loud speaker of yours every night - do it.

All of your neighbors will hear it (and I mean all of them, even the fourth floor), and will want to come by and hang out with you.

6. Despite the rumors, you can really eat whatever you want, whenever you want to.

The freshmen 15 really isn't a thing, and I mean you're stressed all of the time, so you have to compensate by eating, right?

7. That being said, don't worry about going to the gym on a regular basis.

Walking around campus will suffice for any exercise you'll need. Going to the gym, as well, looks like you're just trying to be an over-achiever. Besides, you have too much work to do to fit in a gym schedule.

8. Bring your dog to school with you.

The Resident Assistant's love to see all the different dogs in the dorm, you'll start off on a great foot with them right away. And, honestly, having your dog at school with you will be a huge stress reliever.

9. To get your crush to like you, make sure to say the opposite of what you mean/want.

They'll catch on right away, and think it's this really cute game you're playing. They'll actually end up liking you more.

10. Set up your schedule so that you have an 8 am class and a 9 pm class on the same day.


You start your day early and end it super late. That way, you're as productive as possible. Going to bed late and getting up early - what could be better!

11. Don't worry if your bank account is in the negatives, there are really no consequences.

I promise it's really fine. It happens to the best of us. Just don't worry about it and continue to buy things. It'll work itself out.

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.
