The Office is notorious for being the GREATEST show to ever grace our T.Vs and now our computers, because, Netflix.

If you're anything like me, than you've rewatched The Office more times than you can count. Actually you're just restarting it again this week. There is one thing that goes better together than Michael and Chili's and that is The Office and college.

Us college students love The Office, we watch it instead of going to class and even have parties that are office themed, just to show our love. Something else that is so college, are gen ed courses. Everyone has to take them and everyone hates them because they literally have no real purpose, but we all have to take them.

So why not pair them with The Office characters, make them a little less awful and a little more like Dwight.

Michael Scott — Public Speaking 

This one is obvious. Michael's speeches are known and he totally gets what its like to go up and speak to everyone.

Andy Bernard — Intro to Jazz 

Andy is known for his signing and dancing and he was in an actual a-cappella group.

Jim Halpert — Sociology 

Every prank that he played on Dwight was really just a test. To see how Dwight actually reacted to other humans.

Pam Beesley — Art 

Pam went to art school for a summer and even painted the mural.

Angela Martin — College Algebra 

College alegrba is seriously so boring and is the class version of Angela

Kevin Malone — University Success

This is the class that is totally pointless but you have to it, kind of like Kevin. He is totally pointless at work but he has to be kept around because he's kevin.

Stanley Hudson — English 

Stanley does crossword puzzles all day so he's literally a walking english class

Toby Flanderson — Psychology 

Toby is all about everyone's feelings and making sure that they are okay. He is super touchy feely too

Oscar Martinez — Economics 

Oscar is really the money guy

Kelly Kapor — Government 

Kelly is like really smart guys, so she can do anything

Meredith Palmer — Greek mythology

Meredith was literally living like an ancient greek, not giving a care in the world.

Phyllis Vance — Anatomy 

She knows all about anatomy...if you know what I'm talking about

Creed Bratton — World Religions 

He's been part of cults as a leader and a follwer

Dwight Schrute — Science 

Dwight really gives off the mad scientist vibes. Plus he knows how to grow the perfect beet

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
