Thoughts Every Returning Student Has During Move-In Day As Told By "Parks & Recreation"

Move-In Day. It's a day full of so many emotions and feelings. It can be both one of your favorite days, but also one of the most dreaded at the same time. All of these feelings for me can only be accurately portrayed in one way: through "Parks and Recreation".

Move-In Day is finally here!

So much excitement! So much to do! I AM PUMPED!!!!

I am so happy to be back on campus!

I am like a child on Christmas because I have missed my school so much! Even the parts that I don't like I find charming and am happy to see for a little while.

I should not have packed this much stuff...

The more you pack, the more you need to move. It's just a fact that you seem to always forget until you are moving all of the boxes up stairs.

How did I manage to get this all in here?

I apparently have magical powers because all of this should not have been able to fit into these small boxes.

This is really happening!

Summer felt like it was one minute long! How is it time for classes already?

I am totally ready to be back.

All doubts I had at the beginning is gone, being back is actually the best feeling.

I DON'T WANT MY FAMILY TO LEAVE ME

I had just gotten used to living with them again and getting to see them all the time. Now you want me to leave that? But I will miss them so much!

I am SO excited to set up my room!

My room is going to the Pinterest worthy, and I AM READY!

I GET TO SEE MY FRIENDS AGAIN

Let the adventures begin!!!! I missed them all so much, and this year will just be one gigantic party!

I want everyone to see my room!

All new setup, all new stuff, all new you, so obviously anyone and everyone is invited to come check it out.

My friends are the greatest how did I survive without them?

I missed them all so much, so they must be showered with all of the compliments.

That feeling when you get to relax in your dorm for the first time

At this moment in time, there is no place you'd rather be than your dorm room.

I'm so happy to be back.

It's time to happy dance because being back at school is the actual best.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
