I have no idea what took me so long to hop on board of watching The Office, but now that I have I can't seem to stop. Since I have returned to school from break that lasted over a month, the most productive thing I have done is watch about four seasons of the show. The beginning of the semester is undoubtedly the best and easiest part, and the amount of work accomplished is equivalent to the amount of work Michael Scott gets done on an average day at Dunder Mifflin: none. Luckily the staff at Dunder Mifflin in Scranton, Pennsylvania is able to relate to all that comes with getting back to school to start the new semester.

1. Being reunited with your friends

A month is just way too long.

2. When you miss your dog the second you pull out of your driveway

Only about two million more seconds until we are reunited.

3. When it's syllabus week, AKA the best week of the semester

4. When the professors let you leave class early because they only planned to go over the syllabus

Do not take advantage of this beautiful moment, evacuate the classroom ASAP.

5. When you have THAT professor that starts teaching on the first day

Who made you this way?

6. When you and your friends are in the same class

I'd like to apologize in advance to the professor who does not know what he's in for.

7. When the second week of school starts and all of the work piles on at once

So much for that New Year's resolution of starting everything early.

Best of luck to everyone at the start of the new semester!
