10 Times Michael Scott Was Literally A College Student

1. The first day of class.

You're super pumped for a new school year, a new start. Maybe you aren't going to procrastinate anymore (yeah, right) or maybe you're just excited to learn, but we all know that "beginning of the school year" happiness.


2. When you see your friends after being away from them all summer.

Come on, it's been three months. You've missed living close to them and always being able to run in there room for impromptu pizza nights watching The Office (or any other show that will never compare to the glory of Michael Scott).


3. The first real lecture.

I have no idea what is going on here. Is this even English? Am I in the right class? Why is this so hard?


4. The first real test.

Because the first test is never, ever what you were prepared for.


5. What even is studying?


Why study when you can party? Or nap. Or eat. Or basically anything else.


6. Forcing yourself into "fun" social situations (like parties).


Parties are supposed to be fun; I'm supposed to enjoy meeting new people. But me... every time I speak to a new person, my mouth won't say the words I want, and oh goodness, why am I so awkward? "Oh, yes! Of course I'm having fun!" *dies internally from awkward social interaction*


7. When you try to talk in class.

We've all been there. You think you have a great answer to whatever obscure question your teacher just threw at you, and somehow, through the course of saying it out loud, it somehow sounds dumb. Or doesn't make one bit of sense.


8. Having no real sleep schedule.

You have a study group at 11pm. No big deal, you can still get in bed by midnight and get plenty of sleep before your 8am class. PSYCH. You still have a paper to write, a test to study for, and an intramural game before you can sleep. Your head hits the pillow right as your alarm goes off for class.


9. Dorm fire drills in the middle of the night.


Of course they don't warn you. At least Michael wasn't in the shower for Dunder Mifflin's fire drill...

10. Contemplating dropping out at least once a day.

Everything gets so crazy that you just want to leave and give up. But you also don't want to be a disappointment, so you stay. (Also because the school has already taken so much of your money, it'd be a waste to give up.) You stick it out, and eventually you'll hit graduation. Then you'll feel like this:



Good luck this semester, everyone! If you get overwhelmed, just close the computer, open it back up because you realize that Netflix requires it, and turn on The Office.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
