Power Hours: As Told By Michael Scott

Power Hours: As Told By Michael Scott

Michael Scott knows that hard work is...well, hard.

On the walk to class: You are slightly hysterical and completely irrational. Survive a shark attack, get on a broken roller coaster, and swim in a pool of spiders are among many things you would rather do than sit through this power hour.


Right before you walk into class: You try to put on a brave face. This is your last opportunity to turn around and go back home. You do the responsible thing and go in, despite the agony about to ensue.


The teacher begins lecturing: You ask, "Why did I do this to myself?" How will you survive? You wear out every form of social media on your phone. Three times.


When your friend asks you a question about the lecture: Honestly does he think you're paying attention? You look at the screen. Your eyes cross slightly. Is that hieroglyphics? How long have you been spacing out?


Your teacher calls on you: Should I make something up or pretend I'm still thinking? I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER.


You pretend to go to the bathroom just to kill time: You don't even care about what you miss when you're gone. It's not like you knew what was happening anyway. Go ahead, wash your hands four times.


Class is finally over: You're immensely relieved, but still aggravated by the boredom you just endured. There goes 75 minutes of your life YOU NEVER GET BACK. You bolt towards the door with a disgusted look on your face. Somehow, you survived."

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
