The cast of "The Office" always knows what to say when we are feeling down, and the hilarity of the show resonates strongly with what we all have gone through in our schooling, whether it be college, graduate school, or even K-12. When school gets tough, you can count on Michael Scott to say something crazy, Pam and Jim to play a trick on Dwight, or Creed to say something creepy. Every episode features something that everyone in school can relate to, and while nine seasons isn’t nearly as many as we all wanted, we can always just re-watch the whole series all over again.
When clubs are collecting donations.
We are all broke students, with hearts of gold. While we want to give, sometimes we can’t and that makes us feel bad.
When teachers decide to teach off of the lesson plan
Although sometimes it is necessary, it gets frustrating when trying to take notes. It's hard to know what to write, and if you’re a slow writer, you better get notes from someone else. It makes a student’s life much better when the teacher sticks to the PowerPoint.
When all your tests wind up being all in the same week
It feels like the universe is ganging up on you. Studying for four tests is pretty hard, and it’s important to compartmentalize. If your tests are all on the same day, just pray because it is going to be “fun” to study for all the tests at once.
When you get up early and get dressed up for no reason
You walk into class feeling like a superstar. Everyone compliments your outfit and you are on cloud nine. Then the next day you get up late and look like a bum, and that is okay too.
When someone asks for your number and you have a Significant Other
It gets super awkward and super uncomfortable really fast. You don’t want to hurt their feelings, but you definitely don’t want to give them your number. Your gut reaction can be summed up by Michael Scott’s reaction too.
When classes get cancelled
It is basically one of the happiest moments of your life. It might not happen very often, oh, but when it does it is amazing. You try to make plans really fast or get very excited to relax a little longer.
When picture day/ ID card day comes around and is the most dreaded day of the year
If you forget that it is picture day, you basically regret it every day for a year, especially if they don’t do re-dos on a different date. When your ID card picture is hideous, going anywhere and using it is basically an act of magic so no one sees your messy hair.
Michael Scott is my spirit animal. When school is rough just think of “The Office” and you will be way happier. If thinking about it doesn’t cheer you up, you can binge watch it, it is perfectly okay.
