As August comes to a close and September begins, most of us have already been back to college for at least week. If your week was anything like mine, you know what a struggle it was to transition from binge watching Netflix for hours to attending hours of classes. There's a lot of adjusting to be done, such as moving your entire life back into a dorm room and juggling your new schedule of classes, extra curricular activities, and friends. It can be mega stressful. Bring on the coffee and the naps! Anyway, I spent all of May binge-watching The Office, and I can't believe I didn't sooner considering now I can't spend a day without quoting it or tagging my friends in memes on Instagram. If you know me, it's not surprising that it was my inspiration for this article because my love for the show is endless. If you haven't watched already you need to, trust me. Here's 25 ways you feel during the first week back to school as told by the Office.


1.That face you make when your alarm goes off in the morning on the first day.

2. Sitting through your first lecture like...

3. When you see your friends you haven't seen all summer. :-)


4. When you're really feeling yourself in that first day outfit.

5. When the professor jumps from the syllabus to chapter one on the first day.

6. *After going over the syllabus* Professor: Any questions?

7. And of course, when you go over the syllabus in class and then get to leave right after.

8. When you get your first homework assignment.

9. And it has to be a certain number of words.

10. When you're asked by the Professor in class the next day how it went.

11. When you check your bank account after buying your textbooks.

12. When you're asked to tell the class a little bit about yourself.

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!
