The 18 Realest Struggles Of Greek Week, As Told By "The Office"
The Huffington Post

It's a week long Christmas to all of those students who associate themselves with a Greek organization-- Greek Week. Yes, it is these two words that turn your normal, studious campus into a wild, raging jungle full of passionate people about those letters they proudly represent.

Other than Greek Week being a fun week full of bonding activities for you and your chapter, it turns the most innocent people into screaming heathens that chant their organization's name over and over... and over again.

And it's awesome.

Here is Greek Week, told by your favorite characters in The Office.

1. When you decide you're going to wing this event, and you find out other Greeks have been practicing for weeks.

2. When you see your friends from another chapter and try to act all tough:

3. When you win an event you didn't expect to win:

4. Trying to psych out the competition like:

5. When someone asks you if you are a lead in your Airband:

6. When people try to get in fights over events:

7. Being paranoid and thinking other chapters are spying on your Airband practices like this:

8. Celebrating the wins like:

9. When you lose the hot dog eating contest:

10. Acting like you care about class this week when you've gotten maybe five total hours of sleep:

11. That one dude that shows off in every event:

12. You trying to show off doing an event:

13. When you know that win or lose you love your chapter so much:

14. Trying to love all organizations that week, but remembering you're competitors:

15. When a stressful event is over:

16. When they are announcing the winners:

17. When the week ends:

18. But you realize you get to sleep and act like a normal person again:

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.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads.
