The Start of a New Semester as told by The Office

And here we are again. The start of an entire semester ahead of us. The excitement of syllabus week has settled in and the mixed feelings of after syllabus week will take it's toll on us in a blink of an eye. What better way to kick of this semester with a few comical and relatable memes from "The Office"? If you have yet to watch this nothing but fantastic series, I highly recommend watching this show if you need a few laughs.

1) Walking in to the wrong class

If you haven't at least managed to walk in to the wrong class once out of your four or three years, you are simply lying. Maybe you stepped in for 10 seconds or were like me and sat down in the wrong class for an entire five minutes to realize this is not it. Put on that smile and exit embarrassingly with pride.

2) Seeing a friend or familiar face in class

Oh what a feeling of relief it is to walk into class and see someone you know. Now you can complain and cry with someone knowing you're all floating in the same boat.

3) When that one professor hits you with that Chapter one way too soon

Cue the wide eyes and heavy sighs from the entire classroom. We call the first week Syllabus week for a reason right? How about we take ten minutes going over the three absent rule and call it a day?

5) The beginning suddenly becomes the middle

And just like that, you find yourself three quizzes and two projects in.

Happy Syllabus Week

Even if you find yourself swamped with work already or overwhelmed by what is to come, might as well enjoy the calm before the storm. This week will be the least of your worries for the entire semester so go out and have some fun

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.
