College As Told By Creed Bratton From "The Office"
The Office

“The Office” is filled with relatable characters and memorable lines that you’ll be quoting long after your last Netflix binge. Yes, we all want to associate ourselves with our favorite characters (Jim and Pam, obviously), but it’s time to face the facts. No one understands college life like Creed Bratton. Arguably the most underrated character, Creed is so much more than the crazy old guy who constantly makes out of context and slightly insane remarks. Shockingly enough, it turns out he completely understands your college struggle. From stressful classes and awkward social encounters, Creed has the proper response to it all.

He understands how you feel halfway through second semester. Okay let's be honest, more like the first week of second semester.

And he gets your undeniable need to celebrate when you get an A on the test that you were so sure you failed.

He knows who to thank when FAFSA miraculously comes through for you and gives you like $2.00.

But he also understands the crippling depression that follows every time you check your bank account.

And the panic that sets in when you truly just can't pick a major to save your life.

He knows how uncomfortable it is to try to sound cool when you ask your new college friends to hang out.

And knows what you're thinking when your new friend inevitably posts a picture on Facebook that you can't even remember taking.

He understands that it's impossible to play it cool when your class crush sits next to you and talks to you.

And he actually says what you're dying to scream anytime that one kid reminds the professor of the homework you forgot to do.

He knows the only proper way to react when you realize you have three exams and four papers due tomorrow.

And when the semester comes to an end, he definitely prepares for finals in the most realistic way possible.

Even throughout all the stress and craziness of college, Creed knows how you really feel about it.

Whether you want to admit it or not, we're all just Creeds trying to appear sane during a time that makes us crazy. We might as well just embrace it.

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.
