As we absorb the world around us in its present state, it can take a lot of mental energy to digest many of the complex and difficult situations that are currently affecting many places around the globe. While combating these real-life problems is incredibly necessary and important, it is also important to slow down and even stop every so often to decompress and reset our minds. Many people may take a day of rest, but if you're anything like me and millions of other people, you may choose to immerse yourself in a world that is different from your reality, perhaps by watching an entire series of something on Netflix or DVR. For me specifically, there is one show in particular that is just a cut above the rest when it comes to getting my fix of laughs in on my day(s) of rest -- "The Office".
While there are many, many reasons to love the hit comedy series "The Office", one element in particular makes the show hilariously irresistible -- the characters. Fans may have differences of opinions on which character brings on the most laughs, but there is one character in particular who is known for his hilariously cringe-worthy antics, and that is Michael Scott, played by award-winning comedian and actor Steve Carell.
I fell in love with "The Office" post factum -- like many others, I binge-watched the entire series on Netflix over the course of this past year, which happened to be my freshman year in college, and I found that Michael Scott had some hilarious (and many times iconic to the show) quotes and expressions that relate perfectly to college life.
1. TFW you first arrive on campus for the year.
Whether you're a first year or a seasoned upperclassman, that first day on campus is always exciting.
2. Seeing your best friends around campus.
--especially if you've just come back from a three-month hiatus.
3. Trying to decide on a major like...
The struggle is very real.
4. When you have a bad day in class.
"Why don't you explain this to me like I'm a five-year-old?" -Michael Scott
5. The college life diet.
-or Ramen. Or pizza. Or EasyMac.
6. When you use your social life to distract from the responsibilities of school.
Party it up, or stay in and share pizza and an entire pint of ice cream. Whatever floats your boat.
7. When the end of the semester hits.
Learning the hard reality that procrastination doesn't work here.
8. When you ditch homework for Netflix.
We have all been there.
9. Writing term papers, theses, final essays, etc...
Another reason why procrastination is never a good idea.
10. After you make a payment... for the semester.
Sigh.
11. Checking your midterm grades after slacking for half the semester.
Note to self: STOP PROCRASTINATING.
12. When you kill a final you studied for countless hours on.
You go, Glen Coco.
