Freshman year is a lot like Dunder Mifflin. Some days you get everything you needed to accomplished and other days you end up goofing off until 5PM. In honor of this, I have decided to compile a list of thoughts that I've had during my first semester of college using quotes from the one and only, Michael Scott.

1. When your parents go home and leave you at college.

I've spent the last 18 years counting down the days until I move out and go to college. Why do I suddenly miss everyone?!

2. When your 8am gets canceled.

Praise baby Jesus. Hallelujah. I didn't listen to everyone's advice when they told me not to sign up for an 8am. I thought I would be fine. High school started at 8 so I should be able to wake up for an 8am with no problem. Boy was I wrong. It is so much harder waking up in college than it was in high school.

3. When you have a herd of elephants living above you.

Do we have to put on our high heels and stomp around for hours every single night??? I'm trying to get some sleep you know...

4. When you're driving through campus on the weekend trying to not hit the drunk people stumbling out of the bars.

I have honestly heard some people say, "I hope that car runs me over. Then they have to pay for my tuition". WHERE IS THE LOGIC IN THAT?!

5. When it's 11:59pm and you remember you have an assignment due at midnight.

Nobody's perfect. You live and you learn it.

6. When you run out of money on your Tiger Card.

At the beginning of the semester I was excited to eat at Wellness for every meal because I thought my $1,000 meal plan was going to last forever. It's now November and I am realizing I eat way too much.

7. When you have to stake your territory in the bathroom.

Dorm bathrooms suck. You can hear everything, and I mean EVERYTHING.

8. When you have 2 papers due, a textbook to read, and a test in the morning but your friends still ask you to go out with them.

In the end I'll probably still end up going out with them because #FOMO am I right?

9. When you're walking down the concourse collecting all of the freebies.

I have accumulated at least 10 free tshirts this semester just from walking down the concourse. And don't even get me started on free donut day...

10. When you see a dog on campus.

This applies to all animals. Including Aubie.

11. When you're trying to get on the jumbotron in Jordan-Hare.

You're lying if you say you don't try to get on the jumbotron at least once every game.

12. When you call home and your family asks how you are.

It's fine, I'm fine.

13. When Thanksgiving break finally rolls around and you get to relax and eat turkey.

#BLESSED.

14. When you come back to campus after break.

Sweet home Alabama, WARRRR EAGLE!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
