Whether you're an avid Parks And Rec watcher or just reading this to pretend like you don't have five hundred hours of studying ahead of you; I hope this makes you laugh as much as writing it made me laugh.

1. Writing a paper at 2 am that’s due at 9 am

6. When you have to do ‘icebreakers’ on your first day of class


7. When your roommates fight

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?
