15 Times Andy Dwyer Defined My Senior Year of College

We don't know what we're doing, but we know we're doing it really well

15 Times Andy Dwyer Defined My Senior Year of College
Anna McFarland

Ok, so I'm going to go out on a limb and make a bold statement here; Andy Dwyer is one of the absolute best characters on television (also in the running: the whole Parks & Rec crew, Schmidt from New Girl and Michael Scott).

Whether you have a relationship with Andy Dwyer's character or not, you can probably relate to the emotional roller coaster that is your senior year of college. One day everything is fine and life is rolling on as usual. The next day everyone asks what you're doing with you life, you realize you aren't prepared and you have a mental breakdown.

If you are in your last semester or last year of college right now, take a few minutes to relax and laugh at how accurately Andy Dwyer quotes define this crazy season of life we're in!

When post-grad depression hits


When you try to remember the things you've learned over the past 4 years


When you finally finish the job application you've been working on for two months


Trying to save money because you're getting cut off financially


When professors tell you about the working world


When you try to switch to adult mode in conversations


When everyone in existence is asking you what you're going to do with your degree


When your professors lecture you about not trying hard enough in your final semester

When you aren't motivated to work out but you try to get back in the gym


*In an interview - "What are your qualifications for this position?"


When you realize how much things actually cost


When your college friendships begin to feel distant


When you have to start learning how to cook


When all your super smart friends are explaining their 5-year plan after college


When you reflect on your choice of major


Thank you, Andy Dwyer, for being my favorite character on television, the inspiration for my graduation cap decoration, and a light guiding us to the end of the most stressful year of our lives.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
