In This Article:

There are many moments in which I feel myself needing to look into the camera longingly like Jim or shout and celebrate like Michael.

Some things you feel and experience in college, you can't quite explain with words of your own. Perhaps it is easier when you explain using gifs.

If you're ever looking for a little pick-me-up or some reassurance that someone else feels the same way you do, it's never a bad idea to find comfort in "The Office."

After all, it is extremely relatable and you'll have plenty of good laughs while you're at it.

When you finally get to move into your first dorm/apartment

The Office

It's finally time to start your independence!

After the first week of classes, excitement will probably bubble down to stress

The Office

No matter how hard you try to see the bright side of things, it will be difficult.

Sometimes you overestimate just how much time you have to get ready for class before you're late

The Office

Running across campus starting at 8:55 when you have a class at 9 a.m. should be an extreme sport.

You @ yourself when it's 2 a.m. and you haven't eaten since noon

The Office

Ramen at two in the morning never did anyone wrong ... right?

When you have to take that really random gen-ed class that has nothing to do with your major

The Office

I'm studying the brain, so why do I need to learn about the constellations? Sure, they're cool, but tell me more about the hippocampus.

Even when you try your best, it doesn't always turn out how you want

The Office

Kevin's chili represents the grade that you have held onto so carefully until that one test that really wrecks you.

When you start to make more friends on campus

The Office

Turns out, your lab partner is pretty cool!

When you see a student walking around taking surveys for their class

The Office

I'd love to help out, but please, I need to study.

Birthdays in the adult world aren't as fun as when you were little

The Office

Even with classes and work, try your best to relax a little on your day!

When you and your friend miss the same class on the same day

The Office

And now, you probably will never have the notes.

When you're finally done with classes for the semester

The Office

You finally can get some rest, knowing that you did your best for the semester!

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.
