A regular office can be boring, repetitive in its work and did I mention boring? Thank goodness the amazing show The Office is nothing like a regular office. This comedy is funny, the people are over the top, and the boss is one of a kind. In other words, these characters can mirror what it is like to be a college student sometimes.

1. "Read it? I own it! But no I have not read it."

Every. Textbook. Ever.

2. "We’re not gonna die of radon. We’re gonna die of boredom."

Because no one wants to sit in a classroom taking notes for more than 20 minutes. Not even 20 minutes...

3. "I am Beyoncé, always."

4. "You know what? I’m sick of this. I’m sick of the disapproving little head shakes. If you think that’s going to have any effect on me, it will not."

When you have to admit what you REALLY got on a test to your parents...

5. "I knew that summer had to end sometime. It’s sad though. Because I had a great summer."

Even if we didn't have a great summer, it is probably better than attempting to read textbooks, write 10 page research papers and taking midterms and final exams.

6. "No! God please no! No! God! No! No! NOOOOOOOO!"

We all have these moments. Realizing you procrastinated too long, class isn't canceled, or once you finish a show on Netflix.

7. "That’s what she said!"

This was probably our first real sexual innuendo. But it never seems to go out of style.

8. "The rules of shotgun are very simple and very clear. The first person to shout shotgun when you are within the sight of the car gets the front seat. That’s how the game’s played. There are no exceptions for someone with a concussion."

This probably started when we were finally old enough to ride in the front seat of a car. But if you are not driving, you definitely run to the car and yell out shotgun as fast and as loud as you can.

9. "Maybe there is some sort of animal we can make a sacrifice to."

Anything to pass Spanish class....

10. "If there was a God, Ryan and I would be together by now."

Gosling or Reynolds. Either one would suffice.

11. "There is a god! And he has a plan for us after all."

That moment when you pass a test you forgot to study for or a paper you wrote in 2 hours.

12. "I feel like I’m dyin’ inside. I feel like Neve Campbell in Scream 2. She thinks she can go off to college and be happy, and then…the murderer comes back and starts killing off all her friends."

Finals week. Enough said.

13. "There are too many people on this earth. We need a new plague."

Trying to drive to campus or finding an elevator that isn't full before you're late.

14. "I’m not superstitious, but… I’m a little-stitious."

We are not about to break a mirror or walk under a latter when a test date is approaching.

15. "Sometimes I’ll start a sentence and I don’t even know where it’s going. I just hope I find it along the way."

Every single time we have a class discussion.

16. "I want people to be afraid of how much they love me."

17. "I’m running away from my responsibilities. And it feels good."

We may not hop on a train, but we do have Hulu and Netflix.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
