The Start Of The Fall Semester According To "Parks and Rec."

The Start Of The Fall Semester According To "Parks and Rec."
Giphy

Fall semester is underway, and you're so excited to be reunited with your friends and start new classes!


...until your first week is over and you already have three papers due soon, an exam coming up, several group projects to work on, all on top of working after classes and the four meetings you have during the week and weekend...



"Why am I already freaking and stressing out? We just got back!?" You say to yourself. Just so you don't explode from everything already, you ask your roommate and friends to help you out.

You get to your first class of the day and go to sit in that perfect spot you've planned out and find someone else in your seat...

Time for the first presentation...you haven't had class or done anything with these students (except the one who stole your seat), so you don't know how they're going to react or receive you...




Next class, you're working on group projects. Two of the students are arguing over how to do it, one guy is just sitting in the back on his phone, and someone else left for the bathroom 45 minutes ago. You decide to take over the whole operation.

Next class is your math class, and while your teacher is lecturing and explaining it all, you think you get it. When you get back home to start doing your work, you've forgotten everything you learned and doing homework is impossible.



When you stay up all night to finish a paper and study for exams, and drink so much Monster and coffee to stay alert, it feels like your heart is going to explode.

When Ramen noodles and Easy Mac cups won't cut it for dinner, you decide to hit up the nearest pizza place. You deserve it after all of this hard work!

Sometimes the work just gets to be too much and all you can do is lie in bed and watch Netflix to distract yourself from responsibilities. And you don't listen when your roommate suggests you start working so you won't be stressed out as much.

Pretty soon, the first weeks are over and everything seems like normal as you finally get into a routine and you aren't losing your mind every few moments. Everything is amazing and you feel great!

Until you remember.....

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
