If New Jersey Colleges Were Characters From "The Office"

The real question is, where would Michael Scott go?

Being a Jersey girl and going to school in Jersey, you hear a thing or two about different colleges throughout the state from friends and family and peers that have gone to different schools. The Office is my favorite TV show of all time, so it's only right that I finally analyzed my love for The Office with my knowledge and familiarity with New Jersey.

1. Rutgers University

Rutgers can be loud and proud but also knows when to get to business, just like Michael Scott. He knows when to have a good time but still knows when to put in work, making him, and Rutgers, a real standout.


2. Princeton University

Andy's already an Ivy League man, so he'd fit right in at Princeton. Chances are he'd have a lot of pride for his school for years to come, just like any Princeton alum. Andy wouldn't miss out on going to a more prestigious school.


3. The College of New Jersey

Jim Halpert can be a very hard worker but still knows how and when to have a good time. TCNJ is a standout school just like Jim at Dunder Mifflin.


4. Stevens Institute of Technology

Dwight is a hard worker and is a top salesman, just as Stevens is a top, renowned school. Dwight knows how to get to business and figure out how to get things done, just like Stevens students.


5. Stockton College

Phyllis is a calm and quiet hometown girl just like Stockton, which is fairly secluded in the woods. Phyllis is welcoming and friendly, just as Stockton can be.


6. Rowan University

Pam started out as a quieter character and became a much larger, prouder force like Rowan, which has grown immensely over the years. Pam made a bigger name for herself at Dunder Mifflin, and Rowan's making a bigger name in Jersey.


7. William Paterson University

Angela is often no nonsense and can be very traditional, and William Paterson is a long-standing school in Jersey that puts a lot of work in.


8. Rider University

Toby means well and tries his best, but often gets beat down or compared by coworkers; similarly, Rider can be faced off against other schools but still tries to get the job done.

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.
