The First Week At UGA, As Told By 'The Office'
NBC

Even though it's not quite over, I can already sum up week one at UGA with a little help from our favorite characters at Dunder Mifflin. I'm gonna keep this intro short and sweet so you can all move on to nodding your head in agreement and mumbling, "Same."

1. It is hot as hell

What is up with some of the buildings having shitty air conditioning? Like, I should not be sweating sitting in Park Hall at 10 a.m. Whoever came up with the South's weather patterns needs to calm down.

2. There are too many new people

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD TAKE OFF YOUR BACKPACK WHEN YOU ARE ON A PACKED BUS. There is nothing worse than having to get hit in the face with a freshman's backpack multiple times because they don't understand bus etiquette.

3. Textbook prices are ridiculous

I had to spend roughly 400 dollars on textbooks this semester and I'm dying inside.

4. Waking up is too hard

Over the summer, I kind of forgot that people actually have to be productive before noon.

5. Everyone seems to be catching up with each other and you're just like...

I always seem to be the one person in a class who has no idea who any else is.

6. Your book bag is heavier than you remember

I weighed my bag for MWF classes and it legit weighs 500 pounds.

7. Did I mention the heat?

I AM ALWAYS SWEATY!

8. Professors here are amazing

That's the one thing UGA has going for it (unless our football team decides to actually win a game this season). OUR TEACHERS ARE DOPE.

9. Homework is unfortunately still a thing

Why do I have to read all of Mrs. Dalloway in the first week? #englishmajorproblems

10. But you're still glad to be back

Because hey, you could be going to Georgia Tech... or Florida... or Tennessee... or Alabama...

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:

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.

The people that spend their summers at the lake are a unique group of people.

Whether you grew up going to the lake, have only recently started going, or have only been once or twice, you know it takes a certain kind of person to be a lake person. To the long-time lake people, the lake holds a special place in your heart, no matter how dirty the water may look.

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.
