College. It's stressful, it's scary, it's overwhelming, it's our lives. From waiting in dining hall lines to hating 8 a.m. classes, "The Office" always seems to capture these days of our lives. To prove it, here's 21 times our friends from Dunder Mifflin accurately described life as a college student:

1. Waiting in a giant line for food at the caf.

Also whenever prospective students visit and flock to the best food before you can.

2. Jumping into bed after class.

*Kicks over lamp, breaks phone*

3. Taking your student ID picture.


They all look like a mug shot anyway.

4. Seeing your crush across campus.

*Suddenly forgets all English*.

5. When you pretend to study for more than four minutes.

But really just watched Netflix with your book open next to your laptop.

6. Thinking you failed your exam but you actually passed.

I am Beyonce.

7. Thinking you passed your exam but you actually failed.

Do not cry. Do not cry. Do not cry.

8. Sitting down to write an essay.

Or realizing you've repeated the same sentence four times in your intro paragraph.

9. Getting up for your 8 a.m. class.

Or, alternatively, finals week.

10. Realizing you spent your last $10 on a fidget spinner and a latte.


(Or literally anything else you didn't actually need.)

11. Trying to stay awake in class.


More coffee needed.

12. When that one member of your group does nothing for the project.


Let's just not even put your name on this.

13. Doing everything in your power to avoid work.


Except there's no slivers for "Netflix" or "Snacking".

14. Trying to convince your friends from home to come visit you at school.


We have an ice cream place? And....a floor for you to sleep on?

15. When your professor assigns an essay, an exam, and a project in the same week.

A vicious, vicious cycle.

16. When the library is supposedly haunted and have to you go there after dark.


What flashlights are for.

17. When you've already had a bad day and things just get worse.

My heart.

18. When you're distracted in class and the professor calls on you.


Probably thinking about food, honestly.

19. Contemplating dropping out of school.

Point noted.

20. When the professor lets you out of class early.

*Smashes into door*.

21. Waiting for summer break.

We're right there with you, Kev.

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.
