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.
