24 Things You Have to Look Forward To This Semester As Told By Parks And Rec

The feeling of going back to school is something college kids know well by now. It brings a mixture of emotions – some fun and some not. But everyone knows that when you're faced with a first world problem, you turn to a series of gifs to ease the anxiety. Luckily, "Parks and Rec" does a great job relating to our dread and excitement.

1. When the whole squad is finally together again.

The first night out together is guaranteed to be fun – but definitely not classy.

2. And we can't forget the late night snacks that come after partying.

I need to try this.

Except we might eat an entire pizza by ourselves...

3. Or the morning after realizations we all have.

When this song comes on at the club, it's game over.

4. But after the first weekend, we all realize that we have to get it together.

And some of us even get excited about organization.

a little too excited...

5. And we're excited for class to start until we realize we'll actually have to do work.

(Shout out to the seniors.)

6. But sometimes we get to roll out of class after ten minutes--simply because it's syllabus week.

Bye, Felicia.

7. Or we get stuck in a class with one of those professor we absolutely dread having.

*Drops the class five seconds after it ends*

8. Orrr we get assigned a group project on the first day of class.

There's always that person that does absolutely nothing.

9. At some point this semester, we will all consider whether getting through those gen eds are actually worth the degree.

It will be worth it when we longer have to work in retail or fast food.

10. Because sometimes we feel dumb.

(aka when I try to read Plato)

11. I'm sure we will all have our fair share of guy problems.

Ughhhhhh.

12. And we'll all try to make it to the gym, but no guarantees.

I feel you, Ann.

13. And when we forget to go grocery shopping for, like, a month.

When even the ramen runs out...

14. But hopefully we won't have any roommate problems this year.

"Did you seriously finish the rest of my milk?"

...but I might have to kill you.

15. *Two a.m.* "Can you pick us up from the bars?"


Thank you, Do Not Disturb mode.

16. But we'll definitely have to put a couple of all nighters.


Falling asleep in class is always fun.

17. Don't forget the inevitable "I needed to buy that overpriced sweater to de-stress" card.

Justify all you want, your wallet is not happy with you

18. And when you have to struggle hungover to your 8 a.m.

Your professor totally knows, by the way.

19. Yeah, responsibility is FUN.


F is for fire that burns down the whole town...

20. But don't worry, your friends will be there for you when times get rough.

That one friend that supplies endless emotional support through memes.

And they will feed you waffles.

21. And so will alcohol.

Yes, TY.

22. Because that's something you can't do wrong.


Except for drinking Rubinoff...

23. So have fun this semester.

Be more like drunk Ron.

24. It'll be one to remember (mostly).

Cheers.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
