20 Times 'The Office' Described The Struggles Of Life In College

"Whenever I'm about to do something, I think: 'Would an idiot do that?' And if they would, I do not do that thing." --Dwight Schrute

20 Times 'The Office' Described The Struggles Of Life In College

With the fall semester on the verge of coming around the corner, too fast I might add, we are all internally debating on whether to drop out or actually finish our degree. Not only that, but we are excited to get another semester in the books, see our friends, and maybe learn a couple of useful things in the process. A new semester elicits all kinds of feelings, and "The Office" can very accurately sum them up.

1. The Sunday before the first day of the semester


2. How you think you will be for your 8 AM


3. How you actually are for your 8 AM

4. What you wish you were doing as you sit in your 8 AM (or any class, really)

5. Your reaction to: "You'll remember this from last semester."


6. When your professor lectures on the first day instead of going over the syllabus


7. Thoughts while debating on asking "Is our lowest test score dropped?"


8. When the teacher says "No, I don't drop any test scores."


9. After the first class is over and you actually knew what the professor was talking about


10. During the second class when you realize you actually didn't know what they were talking about


11. By the end of the day, this is you


12. Your thoughts at the end of the semester

13. Every week when you make it to Friday


14. But then you realize you still have the whole semester left

15. Your inner pep talk when working on that first assignment


16. When you get the first test back


17. Thoughts during the first group project

18. Your reaction to "What are you going to do after you graduate?"

19. Basically, every day

20. Knowing one day the degree will be worth it

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
