After nine seasons of "The Office," there is an endless number of quotes that could apply to almost any situation, including college. Here are just 10 of those quotes, all of which can perfectly describe college.

1. "Why don't you explain this to me like I'm five?" - Michael Scott

*Raises hand after hour-long lecture* "Um, could you please repeat all of that...?"

2. "If my parents see this, I am toast." - Creed Bratton

You have to be very selective about what you post on social media. Thank goodness your parent's don't have Snapchat... and if they do, I'm so sorry.

3. Jim: "Hey Kev, how was your weekend?"

Kevin: "Good. I watched TV for 14 hours."

Netflix marathon? Challenge accepted. Never doubt a college student's ability to finish an entire season in one weekend.

4. "Congratulations on your epic fail." - Andy Bernard

Whether it be a presentation you weren't prepared for, a test you bombed or just a bad day, congrats on your epic fail. College isn't college without at least a million epic fails.

5. "There’s too many people on this earth. We need a new plague." - Dwight Schrute

Whether it is walking to class, waiting in the lines in the cafeteria or sitting in a full classroom, sometimes there are just too many people. You begin to just hate people.

6. "I declare bankruptcy!" - Michael Scott

Because being a broke college student is great. You have no money so the obvious thing to do is declare bankruptcy. But you can't just say it--you have to declare it.

7. "Just pretend like we’re talking until the cops leave." - Creed Bratton

Because most college students have had at least one run-in with the cops. The best thing to do is remain calm and act casual.

8. "Sometimes I'll start a sentence, and I don't even know where it's going. I just hope I find it along the way." - Michael Scott


Every time you have to write a paper and you have no idea what you are doing.

9. "Lord, beer me strength." - Jim Halpert

When all you can think of is the weekend. Just get me to Friday... All I need is Friday.

10. "I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them." - Andy Bernard

They're the fastest four years of your life, but also some of the best. The years seem to just fly by, but time flies when you're having fun.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
