College will be some of the best and worst times of your lives. You will meet friends that will last a lifetime, accomplish things that you never thought you could, and learn what being stressed REALLY feels like. There are certain feelings that every college student can relate to, making it hard for others to truly understand us, but Parks and Recreation explains it perfectly.


1. The feeling you get when you have enough time to take a nap

2. The uncontrollable sadness you feel when a professor only gives you a week to write a paper that is half of your grade

3. Leaving your last class on a Friday

4. The pure excitement that overcomes you when you see free food

5. The sudden lack of motivation you have for exercising

6. Getting offered an extra job to make some cash

7. Getting the notification that one of your professors has canceled class

8. When you realize that you have to act like a responsible adult

9. When your parents take you out to dinner when you come home to visit

10. When you ace an exam that you thought you were going to fail

11. When one of your professors gives assignments over Spring Break

12. When you finally see the videos of the stupid things you did the night before

13. When your hometown best friend finds a new best friend from their college

14. The feeling of continuously second guessing your major

15. When your computer dies the night before a huge assignment is due

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.
