The First Week Of College As Told By Michael Scott

Most college campuses across the nation are now in full swing and have ended the first week of classes. In honor of this, I have decided to compile the general thoughts of most students as told by who other than the illustrious manager of the Scranton branch of Dunder-Mifflin, Michael Scott, the world's best boss.

When the professor keeps you the whole time the first day.


Dealing with Financial Aid.


"You have a project due next week."


"I'm going to class every day this semester."


"Please source all research material."


Freshmen at their first college party.


Everyone else at parties.


Seeing your ex on campus.


That moment when you see how much your books will cost.


No empty parking spaces, seats, or washing machines. Ever.


Mandatory dorm meetings.


False interest in many campus organizations.


Freshmen.


"Does anyone have any questions?"


Hearing the alarm for an 8 a.m.


Finding out your friend saved all the tests and notes for your MWF.


Waiting on your refund check just to blow it on something useless.


When your phone is dry the first weekend.


"I didn't go out on a Monday."


Making new friends.


Waking up late for class.


When you see your friends after being apart all summer.


When you discover a herd of elephants live above you.


Making it through week one, but you still have the rest of the semester.

Good luck on the semester, all. I hope this brightens up your first week! Just remember graduation is just $75,000 in loans and three changes in majors away!

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.
