12 ways our crazy college lives relate to The Office

College: The Office Edition

If you are from Scranton, Pennsylvania, it is pretty much a sin if you have never watched or heard of The Office before. It's a hilarious show that we can all relate to in some way or another, while also getting in a good laugh. College is a roller coaster ride of different emotions, events and, most of all, randomness. I feel The Office can be just as random as our crazy college lives. So, here are 12 ways that college relates directly to The Office.

1. When you actually dress nice to class for once

Dressing nice for class gets old real quick, but sometimes you get in the mood to actually look presentable for once.

2. When nothing goes your way

We all have those days when nothing goes the way we plan. So, we feel like everything is just falling from beneath our feet...just like Kevin felt when he dropped his homemade chili.

3.The feeling you have when you don't know a soul in your class

That first day of class is always fun when you don't know a single person, right!? WRONG. It's never fun sitting in the back of the class, alone, on the first day.

4. Trying to stay healthy is sometimes a challenge

With all the stress of school, sometimes eating healthy is impossible and can be a struggle. But, we always force ourselves to eat the best we can!

5. That one professor who doesn't teach anything

We all have that one dreaded class when we look like a deer in the headlights when the professor talks or attempts to teach the class.

6. The feeling when class gets out early

There is no better feeling than getting out of class earlier than expected. Period.

7. Getting put in group projects with idiots

Group projects are the worst when you get paired up with random classmates, especially when you get stuck doing all the work.

8. When a class gets too boring for you to handle

Certain classes are just too boring to handle and everyone ends up dying of boredom.

9. When you have to drag your friends out for the weekend

It's always a bummer when your friends are too dead from the week to go out and have fun. Forcing them is always an option!

10. The feeling you get when you pass an exam you thought you failed

An unexpected A+ on a test is without a doubt the best feeling in the entire world.

11. When all your classes get so overwhelming you just quit

When all those tests, readings and papers end up being due the same week, the only option is to run.

12. In the end, you love college, your friends, and everything it offers

You find lifelong friends in college, and that is something to be very happy about.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
