College: As Told By The Office

We all know college is a weird time in the life of students. You're in a place you don't know, with people you don't know, doing things you don't know. Let's face it, working for a life we don't know. College is one gigantic question mark. But that's okay, because we're all just wandering around this place, bumping into things, falling down stairs, staying up way too late, laughing way too loud, playing "what are the odds," and eating too much junk food, together. In a lot of ways, the randomness of The Office perfectly parallels with the craziness that is college.

1. When you have to buy everything for yourself

Well, most things... Thanks dad!

2. When you try to find a group to belong to

You'll be shocked by how much you can change around different people.

3. Rolling into class on a test day and wondering who these people are

How are they prepared for this?! They haven't come to a single lecture!

4. When you keep getting distracted in lecture

No one wants to listen to a four-hour-lecture about nutrition. Fun fact: I'm writing this in said four-hour-nutrition-lecture.

5. When you decide to dress up for class

Those days to happen, and when they do, dang. People will talk to you that have never talked to you before. Which is both cool, and terrifying.

6. When you get put with idiots on a group project


It'll happen, hopefully it's only once. But be prepared, the questions they ask make you want to pull your hair out.

7. When you don't read the book and try to act like you know what's going on

Sometimes you're just too busy, but seriously though, do your readings, it helps. A lot.

8. When you're trying to convince people you "hang loose"

But in reality you're an uptight book worm, or you sleep literally all the time.

9. When you did super bad on a test, but your friend got an A

Not like you're bitter or anything...

10. When you had a bad day and just want to unwind

Maybe cuz that one friend did super good and you got a 60.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
