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?

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
