Different people, amazing friends.

Dear College Students
Stephanie Anderson

In spirit of surviving Lawrence Tech's first week of the spring semester for the third time, I just want to give all college students a brief shout-out (no matter which group you fit into.)

Dear Fellow Over-Achievers,

Thank you for being involved in too many things, trying way too f*cking hard, and probably being as crazy as I am. Thanks for taking extra detailed notes, helping your friends with homework, and motivating others. Thank you for going the extra mile and picking up the slack in your group projects. Thank you for being the encouragement someone needs when they think they aren't good enough.

Dear Average Students,

Thanks for giving the over-achievers a chill pill when they need to take a step back. You probably get enough sleep too. Thanks for still helping other students out and pulling your weight in the process. Thanks for making fun of the other two types of students. After all, C's get degrees (and probably the same job as the over-achievers with half the work involved, way to show us up.)

Dear Under-Acheivers,

Thanks for giving the average students and over-achievers a purpose and a good laugh when the professor is being ridiculous. Thanks for the good days and the better nights. Thanks for scraping by and still passing a class, showing us the dream of a degree hasn't died in our generation. Finally, thank you for being great people and making college enjoyable.

Have a bomb ass semester guys!

But every once in a while, his life hits a bit of a speed bump. (or he actually hits Meredith...) So if you personally are struggling through a hard time, you know what they say: misery loves company! Here are 15 times Michael Scott's life was worse than your life:

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
