Your College Experience As Told By 30 Rock

The fall semester is starting soon (ew) and there are countless ways to describe one's experience with higher learning. Personally, I feel that words alone often don't do it justice. 30 Rock has been off the air for over three years, however, ritually bingeing the entire series on Netflix continues to inspire me, make me laugh, and even comfort me in times of stress and, subsequent stress eating. Since my time in college is coming to an end soon, I can easily summing it up comes easily with the help of my favorite show about a show.

Honing in on your built-up confidence for the first day of class

Realizing all of your classes are literally miles away from each other

Going to your first college party

Discovering the seemingly endless possibilities at the dining hall on your way to the dreaded Freshmen 15

Coming home for the holidays only to receive judgement for said weight gain

When your family asks how school is going


Seeing grown adults do things like ride a razor scooter around campus

Sleeping in and missing an entire class

Barely making it to class after little to no sleep


Acing an exam you studied for by falling asleep on the first chapter of your textbook

Bombing a test you ACTUALLY STUDIED FOR

Seeking solace on Google for all those online quizzes

Volunteering to talk for your group presentations

"Attendance is part of your grade."

Discovering the cutie behind you in Psych

Making friends via mutual hatred of a person/place/thing

Aaaand realizing this will all be over in FOUR short years

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. 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?
