During the fall semester of my freshman year of college, I started binge-watching "The Office" on Netflix. It took me until around finals week to complete the whole series, where I spent days crying over the finale.

After my tears have been shed, I realized how the majority of the characters from "The Office" are #relatable to people that I know or even me. For example, I can easily state that I have Phyllis's sass and Pam's charm and persistence, while my friend Analisa has Stanley's sass and Kevin's clumsiness.

But the one character that I believe that everyone can relate to (especially my friends Alexa and Raj) is the Assistant to the Regional Manager (yes, that is his job title and you shouldn't question it), Dwight K. Schrute. Between his over-the-top personality (whether he is freaking out or just being himself) and his brutally honest and knowledgeable opinions, we all have those moments where we are just either absolutely done with life or way too excited for life to even be happening.

So here is how moving day for returning college students is as told by Dwight K. Schrute:

1. When you are carrying in way too much stuff:

2. When you are reuniting with your friends who you have not seen for months:

3. When you first enter your dorm and it's not as nice as you thought:

4. When you first enter your dorm and it's better than you thought:

5. When your parents are saying goodbye to you:

6. When you are saying goodbye to your parents:

7. When your parents think that you put up way too many decorations:

8. When there are too many people in your way as you are carrying in a bunch of stuff:

9. When you already don't like your new roommate:

10. When you already love your new roommate:

11. When you have to start unpacking and organizing your things:

12. When you finally finish unpacking/organizing your things:

13. When you realize that you start classes soon:

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.
