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.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.
