15 Moments 'The Office' Described College

If you haven't already met the world's best boss, go ahead and watch Michael Scott and the hardworking people of Dunder Mifflin Paper on "The Office." Between Michael's "That's what she said!" jokes and Jim's faces to the camera, this show has been a little too relatable to a college student's life.

1. When the professor gives homework on the first day

Excuse me!? I thought we were just going over the syllabus- why is there an assignment due next class? Come on now...

2. When you have to present in front of the class

Most people find presentations painful and unbearable. Nothing is fun about getting in front of your peers and presenting a topic you have little interest. Michael's face says it all...

3. When that one kid mentions the homework

Maybe, if we don't bring it up, the professor will just forget about it. Just shut your mouth!

4. When it's finally time for lunch

Our favorite time of the day: lunch! Even though the cafeteria food isn't always the best, it doesn't matter if you're really hungry.

5. When you get free stuff from that table in the cafeteria

Sure, I'll sign up for emails from your random club. Who doesn't love free stuff?

6. When you have to pretend to be interested in the professor's personal life

You're usually not interested in the professor's personal life, but if it means wasting time, then by all means! I would love to hear more about how your sister's husband messed up your summer barbecue!

7. When your bill finally shows up online

You don't just say you're bankrupt- you declare it. Especially after the student loans and debt set in...

8. When the professor actually lets you out a little early

It's such a treat when you get to leave even five minutes early. Something about that five minutes of freedom is really nice!

9. When you have a research paper, math exam, and response questions all due on the same day

It's tough keeping up with everything. Sometimes, we all just get a little emotional and need some chocolate and comfort to get us through it.

10. When the professor suggests an icebreaker to start

Icebreakers are literally the worst. I think I would prefer taking notes than telling a bunch of strangers a fun fact about myself.

11. When your friends play crazy music you've never heard of

I've heard a lot of songs from artists I never knew existed. It's hard keeping up with all of them...

12. When it's the weekend and you have no plans

That moment when you go to check snapchat and you see your friends hanging out but you're currently in your pajamas watching Netflix.

13. When you walk in and the professor hands you a worksheet

Um... can I phone a friend?

14. When it's only two weeks in but you're ready for next summer

Okay, this college thing was fun for a couple weeks but I'm over it now.

15. When the semester is finally over

Whoo! The best part of college- the end of the semester!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
