“And I knew exactly what to do. But in a much more real sense, I had no idea what to do.” -- Michael Scott, Regional Manager of Dunder Mifflin (but also every college student)

Michael Scott, the legendary TV character from the classic sitcom "The Office," represents every college student ever, both realistically and stereotypically.

Here are 21 times Michael Scott perfectly embodied the college student:

1. When you realize you have more homework than you originally thought.

2. When you're trying to make new friends but it's harder than you anticipated.

3. When the dining hall says they have chicken strips, but you get there and it's all a lie.

4. When you take your first exam attempt and don't remember learning any of the information.

5. When your roommate has someone over and forgot to tell you about it...

6. Pregaming.

7. When you ask a question in GroupMe and nobody responds.

8. After checking your bank account and realizing you have $0.27.

9. When you're getting ready for a party and you know someone you like is going to be there.

10. When you're sitting in a study group and know one knows their shit.

11. When your friends' classes are cancelled but yours aren't.

12. When the tiniest mishap ruins your day.

13. When you want your parents to keep taking care of you but you remind yourself that you're a big kid and have to do big kid things.

14. When the fire alarm goes off in the middle of the night.

15. When someone wakes you from your nap.

16. When you overhear students complaining of a 97% on an exam as you stare down at your 82%.

17. Midterms, Finals.

18. Chilling with therapy dogs on campus.

19. When you run into someone you hooked up with on campus.
