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.....

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
