The First Week Of College, As Told By Michael Scott

We are about a week away from school starting and let me tell you, the struggles are going to begin. Of course, no one understands our struggle except for the world’s best boss, Michael Scott.

1. When you can’t find a single parking spot on the first day of class.

2. When the professor keeps you the whole time on “syllabus day.”

3. You find out at the end of that class you have a project due next week.

4. Having to deal with financial aid.

5. When you tell your friends that you’re going to class everyday this semester.

6. When you can spot freshman at their first party.

...compared to everyone else at the party.

7. Having to purchase the textbook for class knowing you will only use it once.

8. Running into your ex on campus.

9. The false interest you have in many campus organizations.

10. Freshmen.

11. When the professor asks, “does anyone else have any questions?”

12. Having to get up for your 8 a.m.

13. Finding out that you made friends with the one person in class that has all the notes, quizzes, and tests.

14. The things you want to spend your refund check on.

15. Making new friends.

16. Seeing old friends.

17. Then your phone is dry that first weekend everyone is back.

18. Then you go out on a Monday.

19. And, of course, when you wake up late for class.

20. Then after making it through week one, but you still have the rest of the semester to deal with.

So here is to all the struggles we will endure making our way to adult life. Good luck to everyone and may the curve be in your favor!

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.
