"The Office" Characters as College Students

The characters loved by college students as college students.

"The Office" is arguably the most popular and most frequently binged television show on Netflix, especially amongst college students. This connection often makes me wonder how our favorite Dunder Mifflin employees would fare amongst the college students that so often watch them.

1. Michael Scott

Michael Scott is the super senior that still thinks that he is relevant. While most people at the school typically ignore his presence, they dedicate most of their time to messing with him or playing into his fantasy.

2. Jim Halpert

He is the kid that isn't really involved in much, but somehow still appears everywhere. Everyone knows his name and everyone seems to love him because he doesn't cause many issues. No matter how many girls comment on his good looks, he's still loyal to that one girl.

3. Pam Beesley

She is the girl that everyone loves because she is kind, sweet and does no harm to anyone around her. She's calm and sweet until she gets a few drinks in her... it's only a matter of time before she gets banned from Applebees, too.

4. Dwight Schrute

No one really knows much about this guy other than the fact that he is obsessed with being appreciated by whoever he chooses to latch onto. People tend to not mind him because he does have some redeeming qualities, but it's hard to enjoy the odd comments.

5. Angela Martin

This is the girl that when she lost the election for the student senate, she rented a room for herself in the library just to cry in. Somehow, she seems to be in charge of every organization on campus and trust me, she will tell you that she is the best and deserves to be at the top.

6. Kelly Kapoor

When she opens her mouth, people immediately tune her out. Everyone wonders why she continues to date Chad from Sigma Apple Pi since he seems to care more about his "Saturdays are for the Boys" flag than their relationship.

7. Ryan Howard

Ah, the resident Chad from Sigma Apple Pi. His priorities revolve around his own wellbeing, hence why he takes the corporate promotion without caring about how the rest of the office felt. He's the kid that takes every opportunity to demonstrate that he is smarter and more skilled than everyone else around him.

8. Andy Bernard

You're at a party and suddenly, the lights come on. The music has been turned off and everyone is confused until they notice the guy who had previously been screaming along to "Humble" at the top of his lungs with his fist in the wall. No one is surprised, since this happened last week, too.

9. Toby Flenderson

Unfortunately, there is always one person in the friend group that is picked on and teased relentlessly. Guys tend to be harsher with this criticism, so poor Toby would be the kid that is always called out by his friends and occasionally shunned.

10. Creed Bratton

Creed is the random old man that no one knows, but somehow always shows up to campus events. He's usually tolerated until he makes moves on some girls, but other than that, he lays low and enjoys the party. Some people love that an old guy shows up!

While we have been given clues throughout the series of how these characters would act in college -- through Michael's experience on Ryan's campus and Andy's constant references to his time at Cornell -- but we will never actually know for sure. These are just a few strong assumptions based on the adults that they had grown to become.

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:

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
