21 Times "The Office" Accurately Described College Life

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.

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.

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.
