The Office

Uh oh, It’s that time of year again folks.

It’s sad to say one of the happiest seasons of the year is coming to a quick end. I personally think it's a cruel and unusual punishment to only have three months of pure sun and bliss. But regardless of the popular vote, the chilly mornings, sweltering afternoons and frigid nights are rolling in. And into seasonal depression, we sink. Do you feel it? Well, if you're unsure, it seems the only people who can relate to this overbearing condition are America's favorite office workers. So here are 8 symptoms of seasonal depression that only the office can accurately portray.

1. Lack of Energy

Feeling bogged down? One class and four hours of work have you physically and mentally drained? Yup… a nap has never been more anticipated.

2. Weakened Immune System

Staying up all night binge watching your favorite shows and conquering a treacherous day on a mere five hours of sleep immediately puts you into a coma and I mean basically, you're dying of the everyday cold.

3. Sleeping Issues

Midnight: Wide Awake

2 a.m.: Ready to party

9 a.m.: Zombie Apocalypse

3 p.m.: Drooling on your work desk

4. Alcohol Abuse

Fun Fact: Tequila is our sixth food group.

5. Irritability

Touch me and I’ll kill you.

6. Overeating and Gaining Weight

Wait, you're telling me I can't hibernate in my room with two tins of Pringles, leftover pizza and Ben & Jerry’s?

7. Social and Relationship Issues

Hi, my names lone wolf. How can I help you?

8. Lack of Concentration

What's for dinner? Wait I had a reading to do for class? Drinks this Thursday? HEY STEVE!

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
