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.


When you realize you have a break coming up.

But you'll spend most of it studying.

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.
