Every College Fall Semester As Told By 'The Office'
Forbes

If you are in college or still young enough to remember what college was like, allow me to take you through the journey of a typical college semester as told by the classic TV show, "The Office."


The week before.

It's the week before classes, and you're PUMPED. Planners, books, pens, markers, you have it all. This will be your best semester yet. You're sure of it!

Week One.

Just when you think you had great professors, since you obvs listened to your friends, you see the screen go from "Syllabus" to "Chapter One."

Weeks four through six.

You've made it to the point in the semester where you debate skipping that annoying ENG 1010 class that makes you fall asleep anyway.

And even though the professor said you couldn't eat in class, you're just sitting here like:

Sorry bro, it's 12:15, I'm hungry.

Two months in.

On that attendance policy: well...

The week before midterms.

You've realized you've missed too much class. Like, is the professor even speaking English, much less teaching it?

The week you get you midterm grades back.

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college.
