20 Memes From 'The Office' That Accurately Describe College In A Nutshell

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBJJrZ5LAVQ

If you are anything like me, you have watched 'The Office' religiously since starting your journey in college. It makes you laugh when you feel completely drained, and it definitely helps you to unwind and forget about whatever has been stressing you out throughout the day, or throughout a long week of essays and tests. The show is so relatable that I figured I would write an article on just how much I have seen it first hand at my university. Enjoy!

1. Venmo me?

https://me.me/i/i-declare-bankruptcy-theofficeisms-com-06252dbeca60429b8571f928939d7ce6

You ran out of money and all you have left is a box of cheerios and some stale pasta to last you the last couple of weeks of the semester. Time to steal a freshman's dining hall swipes! Good luck kid!

2. ALE is never your friend.

https://tvgag.com/gag/do-you-think-that-doing-alcohol-is-cool/

Alcohol law enforcement mixed with underage drinking. We all know how this story ends.

3. Andy says it best.

https://www.theodysseyonline.com/20-times-office-accurately-described-college

Sophomore year when you no longer have unlimited dining hall swipes. That was by far the hardest part of college for me. Unfortunately I realized all too late how good I had it.

4. All the 'kiss up's' out there.

http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/3q4ki9

That one hard a** professor that is impossible to win over but you still try all semester to get on his good side. You never do, but at least you tried.

5. Save yourself!

https://www.reddit.com/r/DunderMifflin/comments/284q8i/this_airs_tonight_oh_my_god/

Fifth year, Barstool, Old row, DO NOT, I repeat- DO NOT get exposed on one of these websites. Glad I dodged that bullet. 😜

6. Let it go...

https://www.pinterest.com/gabanor/you-ignorant-slut/

That one friend who can't let go of high school. Leave the textbook at home, no one cares.

7. Please shut up.

https://memegenerator.net/instance/66908516/kelly-kapoor2-i-think-sometimes-people-are-really-mean-to-the-hot-popular-girl

I'm pretty sure someone quickly popped into mind when you read this. Hate to say it but you will meet plenty of girls like this in college. At least they are pretty!

8. Goodbye.

https://www.reddit.com/r/DunderMifflin/comments/2bex04/i_quote_the_office_a_lot_but_i_am_still_waiting/

The girl who blows up his phone after a one night stand. Just let it go sister.

9. Talk about being bored.

https://me.me/i/well-today-was-a-fantastic-waste-of-time-19982482

Your most boring class is a three hour long lecture that could easily one be one hour but your professor decides to fill up the other two hours not by teaching anything that is going to be on the exam, but instead by telling Dad jokes! Love that!

10. Freshman- STOP!

https://giphy.com/gifs/why-hyMFaxhuQkZTq

Any freshman girl at a fraternity party. You do not need to snapchat every second you are there of the flashy neon lights, beer cans flying through the air, or your friend making out with some random boy. It is not cute, it is not funny, so for the sake of saving your dignity- please stop!

11. Confused much?

https://giphy.com/gifs/the-office-michael-scott-i-understand-nothing-JVagvSmdX5HNe

Me in Spanish 1. You read that correctly, Spanish 1. Who am I kidding, actually in any class.

12. Why me?!

https://extremelyfunnystuff.net/2018/05/the-office-memes/

All your professors team up and decided to have a secret meeting behind your back. They decided to give you 5 projects due by the end of the week on top of the 3 test and 4 essays you already had due by Friday! So fun!

13. Make way!

http://whisper.sh/whisper/0511abb718eabb49657134a5b6f64cd2c3d96d/Theres-too-many-people-on-this-earth-We-need-a-new-plague

Trying to find somewhere to sit at the library during finals season. Time to hit up your local coffee shops!

14. Lets take it down a notch.

http://www.jessespevack.com/blog/2018/6/26/how-to-teach-instructional-design-for-engineers

When you go to tutoring, countless office hours, watch youtube lessons, read the textbook twenty times, stay after class for an hour AND STILL nothing adds up. Is it just me?

15. Cougar alert!

https://www.pinterest.com/pin/26317979048844773/?lp=true

Fifth years who have switched their major's twenty-plus times and are now taking freshman classes with all, well- freshman. No one has intentions to end up as a 'super senior', but it really is surprising how many of us will.

16. All in!

https://www.lifeandstylemag.com/posts/the-office-quotes-pick-up-lines-123023/

When the bar starts playing the song 'closing time'. That means the bar is closing, there is no time for pickup lines, and it is time to go big or go home! Odds are your going to strike out and go home, but hey, never hurts to try!

17. Fail.

https://www.officetally.com/archive/the-office-quotes

The professor's syllabus clearly states, "you get three unexcused absences per semester." You already know that more than half of the students in the class used up those absences by the end of the first month. Hope you have a friend that can write your name down on the attendance list!

18. Watch where you're going!

https://www.reddit.com/r/DunderMifflin/comments/7yzsxd/when_i_see_people_complain_there_are_too_many/

Tour groups that always cut you off and walk like a pack of snails when you are sprinting from the opposite side of campus to make it in time for class. Know your place.

19. Your not that special.

https://www.lifeandstylemag.com/posts/dwight-quotes-the-office-79285/?display=listicle

That one girlfriend who assumes every guy falls in love with her the first time they meet her and therefore clearly has the biggest ego. At least she has confidence though, don't burst her bubble!

20. It gets better.

https://www.interest.pics/render/channel/office-memes/6866c

When the going gets tough and ALL YOU WANT TO DO is throw in the towel, cry for the next 32 years and quit- know that it does get better!! You will graduate, and you will get that job! (Even if it takes you wayyyy longer then planned.) Chin up college kids, we've got this!

Thank you to 'The Office' for all the laughs and never-ending jokes that I can always reference back to the show. You have changed my sense of humor in more way's than one, and I am forever grateful for that.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

SUNY Binghamton

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
