The First Day Of Classes As Told By 'Grey's Anatomy'
greysanatomy.wikia.com

It is that time of year again. A new semester begins, and so does the typical first day of classes. The first day is always different than the rest of the semester. Luckily, the cast Grey's Anatomy can sum it up perfectly.

You wake up, get ready and feel great about yourself. You tell yourself that you are not going to be that person to look like they just rolled out of bed this semester. New semester, new you... right?

(You will definitely look like a hobo in three weeks, so enjoy the honeymoon phase of the semester when you have motivation to actually get ready.)

You make sure to leave early in order to get a good parking spot. Little did you know, everyone on campus had that exact idea. You proceed to park in a lot on the other side of campus from your class. In the middle of class, you receive an email about a parking ticket. You forgot to buy a parking permit.

Next week parking will be available. This pain is only temporary.

You walk into your first class of the day feeling confident and invincible. You take out your brand new school supplies and are ready for class to start. Right as you look up, you make eye contact with someone you have been avoiding all summer long. To top it all off, the professor says to read the syllabus on your own time, and starts with the first chapter.

You walk out feeling defeated with a crushed spirit.

The day goes on and it is time for your next class. You walk in the door and sit down. You tell yourself this class will be better than the first one. The professor walks in and starts with the syllabus. You are relaxed and feeling okay about this one. The class goes smoothly until the professor says two words: "cumulative final." After that, you already feel the failure coming. You cry a little until the professor makes eye contact with you and you pull it together.


You pencil in the last day to drop classes into your agenda and take a deep breath.

You are walking to your car or dorm after the final class of the day feeling confused and lost. You begin to realize that this is a normal feeling that will never go away. Just as you think the day can not get any more confusing, you see someone you know from your high school. They say something weird and you make awkward conversation.

You never walk this way home again to avoid this person for the rest of the semester. They still manage to find you.

Welcome back, everyone!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
