College has its ups and downs, to say the least. It makes for some pretty great memories and probably some of the best times of your life, but between classes and parties and learning how to adult, it can be way too much to handle sometimes. Thankfully, the staff of Dunder Mifflin can relate.

1. When the freshman 15 kicks in but your confidence is doing just fine.

2. When you've been moved in for two weeks and you're already missing home.

3. How it feels when you try to carry all your groceries to your room in one trip.

4. When you've been driving laps around every parking lot on campus and there isn't a single space available.

5. When you realize syllabus week is over and you actually have real responsibilities.

6. When you go to your advisor and they ask you what you need help with.

7. When you're trying to be productive and get your day started but instead you're still sitting in your dorm wearing your sweatpants and drinking coffee.

8. When you're trying to have a good time at the football game but you're surrounded by sloppy drunks.

9. When the weekend finally arrives.

10. When your weekend ends up on social media.

11. When your semester bill comes in and you still have to buy groceries and gas and other adulting things.

12. Your teacher that won't let you use Keynote even though every student has a MacBook.

13. When you're part of a group project and you get stuck doing all the work just for everyone else to complain about the way you did things.

14. Finals week in a nutshell.

15. When finals are over and you make it to Christmas break.

16. When it's time to register for classes and everything overlaps.

17. When you actually have an A in one of your classes.

18. When you've just had enough.

19. When you finally make it to summer.

20. When you realize all the stress and chaos was totally worth the memories you made.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
