What Michael Scott Would Say If He Went Back To College

Michael Scott's words of wisdom will help you transition back to school with a smile on your face.  

No one says it better.

1. Concerning tuition:  “Mo’ money, mo’ problems.” 

2. First day of class:  “It’s never too early for ice cream.” 

3. For morning classes:  “I like waking up to the smell of bacon, sue me.” 

4. Remember this about freshmen:  “We’re all homos.  Homo sapiens.” 

5. What to talk about with new friends in class:  “Friends joke with one another. Hey, you’re poor. Hey, your momma’s dead. That’s what friends do.” 

6. On presentations: “Wow, all these charts and graphs.  Someone’s been doing their homework…looks like USA Today.” 

7. Participating in class:  “Sometimes I’ll start a sentence and I don’t even know where it’s going.  I just hope I find it along the way.” 

8. Your fresh outlook:  “Would I rather be feared or loved?  Easy.  Both.  I want people to be afraid of how much they love me.” 

9. Business students:  “Another rule of business is being able to adapt to different situations.  Adapt, react, readapt, apt.  Alright? That’s rule number two.” 

10. On leadership:  “The word ‘ship’ is hidden inside the word ‘leadership’ as its derivation.”

11. Trying to contact a professor:  “Well, just tell him to call me ASAP as possible.” 

12. Going out every night:  “Do you think that doing alcohol is cool?” 

13. After eating one too many pizzas:  “It’s a pimple, Phyllis. Avril Lavigne gets them all the time, and she rocks harder than anyone alive.” 

14. When completing research: “Wikipedia is the best thing ever.  Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject. So you know you are getting the best possible information.” 

15. When your professor gives you an unfair grade:  “You know what they say. ‘Fool me once, strike one, but fool me twice…strike three.” 

16. TGIF: “You just gots to get your freak on.” 

17. Fraternity bathroom:  “Crazy world, lotta smells.” 

18. And always keep in mind:  “When I was Ryan’s age, I worked in a fast food restaurant to save up money for school. And then I lost it in a pyramid scheme, but I learned more about business right then and there, than business school would ever teach me or Ryan would ever teach me.”

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
