Truthfully, this time of the school year is a struggle for everyone. You've finally settled into your classes, gotten into a routine, and are feeling good about yourself… then professors start talking about tests and midterms and that all comes crumbling to the ground. So what do you do in times of confusion and stress? Watch Netflix. It's probably not the best "answer but it is the right "answer in my opinion. And who better to share his words of wisdom in these times of troubles than Michael Scott himself.

First, he perfectly encapsulates every student's feelings about classes…

"I don't hate it. I just don't like it at all and it's terrible."

— Michael Scott, "The Office," Season 4 "Launch Party (1)"

And he perfectly captures everyone's inner monologue when that one person" in class raises their hand.

"That was offensive and lame. So double offensive. This is an environment of welcoming and you should just get the hell out of here."

— Michael Scott, "The Office," Season 1 "Diversity Day"

He understands what it's like to write a paper the night before its due.

"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."

— Michael Scott, "The Office," Season 5 "The Duel"

He knows how to maintain confidence even your when skin isn't perfect.

"It's a pimple, Phyllis. Avril Lavigne gets them all the time and she rocks harder than anyone alive."

— Michael Scott, "The Office," Season 7 "Sex Ed"

And he encourages you to always" be your best self.

"I am Beyoncé, always."

— Michael Scott, "The Office," Season 6 "Body Language"

He's always there to get you through a boring day of work.

"An office is for not dying. An office is a place to live life to the fullest, to the max, to... An office is a place where dreams come true."

— Michael Scott, "The Office," Season 5 "Stress Relief"

And of course, he understands the difficulty of finding (and keeping) a partner in college, but chooses to look on the bright side.`

"I would say I kind of have an unfair advantage because I watch reality dating shows like a hawk, and I learn. I absorb information from the strategies of the winners and the losers. Actually, I probably learn more from the losers."

— Michael Scott, "The Office," Season 6 "Happy Hour"

For the boys out there, he assures you you aren't the only ones thinking this.

"Any man who says he totally understands women is a fool. Because they are un-understandable."

Of course, he understands and encourages the college student's need to find ANY reason AT ALL to party.

"It is St. Patrick's Day… It is the closest that the Irish will ever get to Christmas."

— Michael Scott, "The Office," Season 6 "The Delivery (1)"

Finally, he gives us all some inspirational words to live by.

"Don't ever, for any reason, do anything for anyone, for any reason, ever, no matter what. No matter where. Or who, or who you are with, or where you are going or... or where you've been... ever. For any reason, whatsoever."

— Michael Scott, "The Office," Season 5 "Stress Relief"

So when school and life have got you down, just think "What would Michael Scott say?" Well… maybe don't say it, but laugh about it. And of course, as always, sit down, relax, and watch "The Office."
