The First Week Of College, As Told By Michael Scott

We are about a week away from school starting and let me tell you, the struggles are going to begin. Of course, no one understands our struggle except for the world’s best boss, Michael Scott.

1. When you can’t find a single parking spot on the first day of class.

2. When the professor keeps you the whole time on “syllabus day.”

3. You find out at the end of that class you have a project due next week.

4. Having to deal with financial aid.

5. When you tell your friends that you’re going to class everyday this semester.

6. When you can spot freshman at their first party.

...compared to everyone else at the party.

7. Having to purchase the textbook for class knowing you will only use it once.

8. Running into your ex on campus.

9. The false interest you have in many campus organizations.

10. Freshmen.

11. When the professor asks, “does anyone else have any questions?”

12. Having to get up for your 8 a.m.

13. Finding out that you made friends with the one person in class that has all the notes, quizzes, and tests.

14. The things you want to spend your refund check on.

15. Making new friends.

16. Seeing old friends.

17. Then your phone is dry that first weekend everyone is back.

18. Then you go out on a Monday.

19. And, of course, when you wake up late for class.

20. Then after making it through week one, but you still have the rest of the semester to deal with.

So here is to all the struggles we will endure making our way to adult life. Good luck to everyone and may the curve be in your favor!

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

1. People assume you are mad all of the time.

2. Ten out of ten times you will give off an intimidating impression to others.

3. People do not acknowledge your feelings because you "do not have any."

4. Constantly being exhausted from trying to smile and not look like a witch.

5. And on the rare occasion your facial expressions show how happy you are, your friends think you are going crazy.

6. Each of your friends has said "I thought you were so mean when I first met you" at some point.

7. Then they follow that by saying "you are just hard to read."

8. So naturally if people do not know you they just assume you are a snob.

9. And when you are actually mad, your facial expressions are horrifying.

10. In the end you always look like you are judging people, when in reality people are ALWAYS judging you.
