Back To School As Told By 'The Mindy Project'

Mindy Lahiri is my spirit animal.

Back To School As Told By 'The Mindy Project'
Geeky News

It's that time of year again for college students. Yep, back to school. After three months of a pure blissful summer (that is if you haven't taken summer classes) it's now time to start off the fall semester. And what better way to illustrate the joys of starting off the new school year than with "The Mindy Project." Which by the way, if you've never watched, or have heard of this show, you are seriously missing out. The main character, Mindy Lahiri always knows exactly what to say in certain situations.

There's no such thing as a "Syllabus Week."

In fact, there's no such thing as a syllabus day. You always start off a class thinking that it will take the professor the entire time to review the syllabus, when in reality, they go over it for about 30 seconds before moving on to Chapter One.

When those 8:00 am classes start to roll around.

You might actually try getting ready for the first day of class. Maybe even the first week of classes. But then as the semester progresses, you manage to just roll out of bed, throw on a pair of sweatpants and call it good.

You are no longer a Freshman, but the Freshman 15 is still very a much a thing for you.

This is usually the case for the students that are on a meal plan and get mostly stuck eating dining hall food. But when you're a broke college student, you manage to just get by with some Ramen noodles and Eggo waffles. Yeah it's unhealthy, but it's cheap.

Having to deal with the school WiFi.

It's frustrating to deal with campus WiFi, especially when you're trying to do homework and your internet randomly loses connection. Thanks WiFi, you're the best.

When it starts getting colder.

As soon as the weather starts transitioning, you start to release your inner basic white girl with some leggings and yoga pants. Pumpkin Spice Latte not included.

You're already thinking about winter break.

Is it time for Christmas yet?

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
