Being a college student is certainly a unique experience and sometimes it takes an unique person to be able to explain the struggles and accomplishments that come along the way. Behold, Michael Scott, regional manager of the Dunder Mifflin Scranton branch. Some of his words and moments as the "World's Best Bost" can easily relate to living life as a college student. Here are a few of the best:

1. Watching the professor put up the next slide one minute before class ends

It's a moment of panic, disappointment, and anger all mixed into one.

2. Finding out you passed a test you thought you failed for sure

It may only have been by one point, but that's progress.

3. Telling yourself that you're going to work all night, but then you watch "The Office" instead

It's not necessarily a bad thing, as long as you finished that paper that's due tomorrow.

4. Seeing your best friend after they skipped class the other day

I'm not mad at you personally; I'm mad that you left me in there all alone.

5. Sitting through any lecture

Big words at 8AM never make any sense.

6. When people are trying to get you to pay their tuition

It's a common joke among college students that should never be taken seriously.

7. Finally getting the chance to go out on a food run

Nothing is better than you and your bestie breaking free to grab some burgers and frozen yogurt.

8. Finding out the class you need is only offered at 8AM

This is a moment that should never be wished upon anyone, not even your worst enemy.

9. Trying to make the length requirements on a paper

You just have to add a ton of fancy words and hope for the best.

10. Remembering that part of your grade is participation and attentiveness in class

Suddenly you perk up, wipe the drool from your mouth, and scribble something in your notebook.

12. Trying to be the life of the party on the weekends

It's time to let loose, go crazy, and regret it all Monday morning.

13. Remembering that napping wasn't part of your schedule today

Because a 15 minute cat-nap always turns into an hour long snooze.

14. Making it to the end of the semester in one piece

Only a few tears were shed along the way, but you made it!

As many college students say, college is a series of ups and downs, good days and bad days, challenges and achievements. Whenever the pressure is getting to be too much, put down the textbook and flip on your favorite show. Maybe it's about a paper company in Scranton, and maybe it isn't. But take the time to relax, get inspired, and then hopefully find your way back to your work. If not, there's always tomorrow!

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.
