20 Times The Office Summed Up College

We all know that The Office is full of your run of the mill awkward situations- and then some. Coincidentally, so is college.

20 Times The Office Summed Up College
Wegotthiscovered

As we transition into adulthood, alongside many of our new friends, we're faced with situations where we can't help but stand back and laugh to ourselves. Whether it's the kid in math class who hasn't quite mastered how to whisper, or the things you spot on your late-night Friday journey to Sheetz, life is a funny thing. Especially in college!

1. Being so overwhelmed with school you lose track of current events and nearly sever all connections with outside life.

2. When the PRT is down and there are a million people trying to catch the bus at once.

3. When your professor has random attendance checks to see who shows up to use their own clicker and who sends them with their friends.

4. Trying to manage school, work, family, your social life, and keep your priorities straight.

5. Freshman year floor meetings in a nutshell.

6. Re-watching your Snapchat story and deleting everything because...

7. When you study for three days straight and the first question of the exam looks like a foreign language.

8. Contemplating what it would be like if you dropped out (for the third time today).

9. When the random loud kid in class decides to "whisper" everything that they did the night before to their friend and you're forced to sit there and listen to them.

10. When you stroll into your professor's office hours midway through the semester looking for help.

11. Waiting two weeks for your exam grades to be posted.

12. When a million student orgs crowd together in the Lair at the beginning of the semester trying to recruit you.

13. When you try to get a cute group pic with your friends but everything goes wrong.

14. Returning home for break and having your family ask you if you're seeing anyone.

15. When your professor doesn't use PowerPoints or put the notes online, so you literally write down EVERYTHING.

16. Getting ready to go out on Friday night.

17. ... and then getting the text from your friends that they "have too much homework to do" and won't be joining you.

18. ...and then finding out what they really did when you check in with them on Monday morning.

 

19. When your friend group and your roommates' friend groups start to merge.

20. When you slowly begin to realize you won't be in college forever.

You're right Andy, these really are the good old days.

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.
