12 Ways All College Students Are Like Michael Scott From The Office

"Would I rather be feared or loved? Easy, both. I want people to be afraid of how much they love me."

12 Ways All College Students Are Like Michael Scott From The Office

Though we all technically have a higher chance of getting more sleep than we did in high school, college students — very much like Michael Scott from "The Office" — tend to procrastinate until we have no option but to do our work.

But, then again, we all love Michael Scott anyway...so we don't really mind the resemblance. Here are 12 ways all college students are exactly like Michael Scott.

  1. You take naps whenever possible & how dare anyone try to wake you up.
  2. And those days that you don’t even know what day it is and you just can’t anymore.
  3. You used to ignore caffeine like it was something you don’t need, but now you’re inhaling coffee and swallowing sugar like there’s no tomorrow.
  4. Somehow you make it to those 8 am classes and realize you forgot your assignment — and there's that one kid who you know will tell the professor.
  5. Then you have those morbid presentations — you know: the type you tell yourself you can wing and get yourself through but then 10 minutes before you panic and attempt to cram? Yeah, those.
  6. By that point it's Wednesday when you actually realize it...
  7. And there's no difference between how you feel and what people see.
  8. So of course at this point your dressing skills have gone to dogs when someone tells you, "You look comfortable!"
  9. But then you have a newly scheduled quiz for Friday.
  10. And before you know it, all you do during the week is eat, sleep, study and repeat.
  11. But as soon as the week started the week ended, and it's the weekend.

But just like Michael Scott, we're all just trying to be good people — but don't forget to take a breather every now and then! (And a hella good power nap!)

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
