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.

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
