The First Day Of School As Told By The Office

I'm so excited for my senior year here at Clemson, but ugh-school. amiright?! Here's the first day of the semester as told by Michael Scott and friends.

You arrive in town, set up your new room, reunite with your friends, organize your planner, and are all ready to go. Then reality hits and you have to actually go to your first class.

You sit down and introduce yourself to the people next to you. It's an awkward exchange of small talk and cell-phone numbers that you're going to look at a year later and say, "I don't know any Danielle Thompson."

The professor, who sent an urgent e-mail the night before for everyone to print and bing a copy of the syllabus and made you scramble to the library at 11:00 p.m. to print all 20 pages for free and to staple it all with the jumbo stapler only found on the 5th floor, begins to pass out the giant stack of copies they went ahead and printed for the entire class anyway.

Then, you listen to the professor go over the syllabus and mention the most crucial information for the class that they conveniently forgot to include so you have to squeeze it in the 0.0000025 of an inch margin they left for you.

After spending the majority of the class time going over the syllabus and realizing there are only 10 minutes left of class, you assume that you're done for the day, but then the professor says, "Alright, let's get started with Chapter One!"

So, you take out the emergency sheet of paper and pencil you actually brought with you today and start to follow along... sort of. You're obviously still on summer break.

You hear an arrogant, "a-hem" from the back of the room. It's that one kid who has the audacity to ask a question, clearly above the the level of the class, on the first moments of material just to show off to everyone how so much more advanced they are.

Then, the professor and the cocky kid get into a discussion that you can't follow, and another student across the room jumps in. You're caught in the crossfire as they're clearly trying to battle it out for top dog on day one. People, please. There are 30 more seconds of class.

Finally, the professor comes to their senses after realizing the other 99.999999999% of the class have zoned out and already have their backpacks on ready to leave. Brushing off the debate, "Alright. Alright. We'll leave that fun for chapter 15! See you all on Wednesday." And then you all get out of there ASAP! before the professor can assign homework on the 10 minutes of material you (didn't) learn.

That's about how every other class goes for the rest of the day. Finally, you stagger off the bus into your apartment, eat an entire bag of Cheetos, and take a long nap. I mean, you can't get much more (mentally) exhausting than the first day of a new semester.

Cheers to another school year, you scholars.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!
