" The Office" is, without a doubt, one of the most popular sitcoms to grace us with its presence in the last ten years. With the drastically out-there characters, small town Pennsylvania setting, and fantastic one-liners, it is easy to see why it is so well-liked. I'm currently re-watching the series right now and realized that I identify with these characters on a much personal level. They're all just grown-up college kids. Let me count the ways:
1. When the struggle to eat healthily becomes too much to handle...
2. Eventually, those late night study sessions start getting weird...
3. When you just start accepting things...
4. Word counts were created by the devil, and the struggle to meet them is so very real...
5. Some glorious moments, you and your BFF get put together on group assignments...
6, You finish your exam but aren't allowed to leave because your professor wants to teach something else before you leave...
7. The time when you have to start mooching off your friends because you didn't calculate your meal swipes correctly...
8. Your normal walk to class gets thrown out of whack because there are students visiting...
9. Everyone is taking pictures and sometimes, you're too tired to pretend to be happy...
10. Your responsibilities start piling up, and you start to think about just dropping out...
11. That horrible person who starts to remind your professor about homework assignments right before she lets you out...
12. Your friends start trying to convince you to do the work you have due at the end of the week...
13. Then you start to relax and your responsibilities just hit you out of nowhere...
14. When you're in class and realize that you are way out of your element...
15. Then by some amazing luck, you get an A on the paper...
16. When your professor starts reviewing and mentioning things that you've never heard of in your life...
17. You realize that some of your pals only want you for your study guide...
18. When you're relaxing and taking some time to yourself and then remember the three papers and two projects that were assigned weeks ago...
19. You find out that your final essay test is not open book...
20. Seeing the same people every day starts to drive you to your breaking point...
21. After your exams, your brain is fried, and you can't really fully understand anything...
22. You start counting down the time until your final is complete...
23. Then once break officially starts, someone tries to talk to you about next semester...
24. Then once break is in full swing, you realize that your friends all have summer internships, jobs, or something and you're alone...
25. When you finally come back to school and are reunited with your besties...
