15 Times 'The Office' Inadvertently Describes College
The Odyssey

College is different for everyone but there are some experiences that have similar reactions all across the board. Here are 15 times that the American TV show, "The Office," inadvertently describes college.

1. When writing an essay for any class.

Writing a college essay is an intimidating task whether or not you are good at a subject or not and more often than not, you have no idea what direction to go in.

2. Walking out of class every day.

Especially if you're are in a major-specific course, there are rarely days you walk out of a class and feel perfectly content with the material that was just given to you.

3. Free Food in the Quad.

It's college and the need for free is real. Some might say that the lines aren't worth the wait, but they clearly haven't eaten Ramen for 7 meals straight yet.

4. Waking up on Sunday morning.

Sunday's are usually the worst day of the week solely because we all know Monday is right after it and we only have so many hours to relax and have fun before we return to class.

5. The food in the Dining Hall.

I know that cooking food in large quantities with high quality is difficult, but I would rather wait a few more minutes than my food still tastes like the ground.

6. When someone in your group doesn’t do their part of the project.

Group projects are great until that one person decides that they don't have to do anything but expect the same grade.

7. After you help your friend with a problem on the homework.

Helping out your friends is great, especially if you're the only one around that can save them from failing the assignment.

8. Exam Week is coming up.

There is no stress like studying for multiple exams at one time and there certainly is no time for nonsense.

9. When the line at the dining hall is long.

It's hard enough to find time to eat in college, so walking into the caf to see a line of 20 people at the only decent food line can make you feel some type of way.

10. The food served at the dining hall.

Let's be real, it's great that there is an abundance of food available, but quality beats quantity.

11. Looking at your bank account.

It's college and your money is scarce. Even if you are able to hold down a job while participating in extracurriculars, and keeping your grades up, the money somehow just disappears.

12. When the dorm above you decides to blast music, so you declare war.

In this type of situation, you fight fire with fire.

13. After every assignment in college.

This one speaks for itself and is surprisingly true.

14. When you’re only halfway done with that night's assignments and you’ve hit your max stress level.

Sometimes the stress is too much to handle and you would do anything for it to just stop for one moment.

15. College is hard, stressful, and a bit overwhelming, but let’s be real, who really wants to get out and start in the “real” world?

Sometimes the workload and stress make it feel like a never ending process but if we take a step back, we realize that college is pretty great.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
