Because some may know what it's like to be an Oscar surrounded by a sea of Michaels.

1. Michael Scott: Business/Undecided

Like Michael Scott, many business majors and "undecideds" often wander around college trying to figure out what to do and how to do it. They try to dodge and completely avoid various questions thrown at them about what they're gonna do, how they're gonna do it and basically wing almost everything until it makes sense while hoping everything all works out.

2. Pam Beesly: Nursing

Pam is a very patient and nurturing person who has a warm and compassionate heart for others, but like many nursing students, Pam must also deal with tremendous amounts of stupidity, frustration and unsolicited comments from others that she constantly has to put up with and handle with a nod and a smile. So brave.

3. Dwight Schrute: Agriculture

Dwight pours his heart, soul, blood, sweat and tears into his infamous beet farm and is not afraid to let others know how hard the job really is as he consistently demands more respect and praise for his beloved vegetation. Like many Agriculture majors, he sees the true value in the farming lifestyle, and while others may laugh, he knows that it benefits the planet and all those who inhabit it.

4. Jim Halpert: Communications

Jim is a very sociable guy who knows how to work a room, get his message across, and strategically persuade people into doing and agreeing with what he says. This is always best tested on Dwight. With Jim's various tricks, strategies and certain attitude of confidence and intelligence, he is able to get Dwight to do, say and agree to things that he says no matter what it may be.

5. Phyllis Vance: Education


Like education majors, Phyllis is very kind and loving towards others. Even when she may not get the respect she deserves she always has a positive attitude and knows how to treat other peocople and be patient with them- even when its difficult.

6. Kevin Malone: Journalism

Kevin is a very outgoing and free spirit who is always curious. Like many journalism majors, he often just wanders around and floats from person to person until pretty soon, he eventually figures out what's happening and gains a good understanding of what is going on around him.

7. Angela Martin: Animal Science/Pre-Vet

Like many animal science majors, Angela is strong advocate for the argument that animals are way better than people and it's quite evident to see that. She has a love and passion for animals and would much rather spend her time with them than with people.

8. Meredith Palmer: Art


Meredith is a free spirit and silently surprises those around her with her unique personality and viewpoints. Like many art majors, Meredith is never afraid to be herself and put herself out there for people to see, in whatever way that may be.

9. Kelly Kapoor: Fashion Merchandising & Product Development

Kelly is fabulous and confident in her own way. She always has a bold spirit and encompasses many unique qualities and characteristics. She stands tall, has a creative edge, and constantly has a fierce side to her that she's not afraid to unleash.

10. Stanley Hudson: Engineering

As Stanley and many engineering majors do, they just sit behind a desk, in a chair and spend time figuring out various problems and doing hectic amounts of work for long hours of the day, all while putting up with complaints and tomfoolery of those around them while they silently wallow in their own self pity and constantly question how anybody else can be taken seriously.

11. Oscar Martinez: Biology/Pre-med

Oscar is a bit of a mix between Pam and Stanley. Like Oscar, most biology majors and students on the Pre-Med route, while they have serious work to do and work diligently to get it done and do a good job, they are met with ignorant remarks and problems that other majors have and complain to them about, and are constantly questioning the life choices and brain capacity of other majors around them.

12. Creed Bratton: Psychology

Creed is a very unpredictable and interesting character that often have many people's brains in a twist. Like many psychology majors, Creed has so much stuff going on in his own head that he probably knows what's going on in yours.

13. Ryan Howard: Political Science

Ryan likes to think of himself as an alpha male. He likes to take charge, be on top, and most importantly, like every poly sci major- he always likes to be right and be the smartest guy in the room.

14. Andy Bernard: Music

This one is a pretty big no-brainer as other majors are able to look at Andy Bernard, as well as any music student, and are able to make the quick, easy guess to themselves and say- "Hm, I bet they're a music major," as Andy, and many music majors, carry their love and passion for music in their attitude, personality and character that are contagious and easy for other majors to sense.

15. Toby Flenderson: Pre-Law

Toby is the voice of all reason and is there to calm the storm and bring people back down to reality. Like students on the path to law school, he is there to take charge when it's needed, to defend others, and to voice the grounds for what is right and what is wrong at all times... and to also put up with people when they disagree with him on what's right and what's wrong.

16. Erin Hannon: Hospitality

Erin is a bubbly spirit who is always very welcoming and hospitable to those around her. Like hospitality majors, Erin is a very warm and friendly person, but she also knows how to take charge, demand respect, and get stuff done when needed.

17. Gabe Lewis: Marketing

Gabe, as well as many marketing majors, knows how to say things and when to say things in order to make the company look good. He knows how to take charge and how to compose everyone in order to appeal to HR, and knows how work hard to make the Dunder Mifflin Scranton branch look like a top notch company, when in reality it's not the most composed and put together of all the branches.

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.
