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?

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
