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
