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?

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

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.
