"Whenever I'm about to do something, I think: 'Would an idiot do that?' And if they would, I do not do that thing." --Dwight Schrute

20 Times 'The Office' Described The Struggles Of Life In College
www.shminhe.com

With the fall semester on the verge of coming around the corner, too fast I might add, we are all internally debating on whether to drop out or actually finish our degree. Not only that, but we are excited to get another semester in the books, see our friends, and maybe learn a couple of useful things in the process. A new semester elicits all kinds of feelings, and "The Office" can very accurately sum them up.

1. The Sunday before the first day of the semester


2. How you think you will be for your 8 AM


3. How you actually are for your 8 AM

4. What you wish you were doing as you sit in your 8 AM (or any class, really)

5. Your reaction to: "You'll remember this from last semester."


6. When your professor lectures on the first day instead of going over the syllabus


7. Thoughts while debating on asking "Is our lowest test score dropped?"


8. When the teacher says "No, I don't drop any test scores."


9. After the first class is over and you actually knew what the professor was talking about


10. During the second class when you realize you actually didn't know what they were talking about


11. By the end of the day, this is you


12. Your thoughts at the end of the semester

13. Every week when you make it to Friday


14. But then you realize you still have the whole semester left

15. Your inner pep talk when working on that first assignment


16. When you get the first test back


17. Thoughts during the first group project

18. Your reaction to "What are you going to do after you graduate?"

19. Basically, every day

20. Knowing one day the degree will be worth it

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
