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.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
