The Transfer Application Process as told by Michael Scott

Because only "the World's Best Boss" could tell it best.

The Transfer Application Process as told by Michael Scott
The Office-isms

It's no surprise that the college process is simultaneously exhaustingly overwhelming, and extremely gratifying. However, when you opt to undergo the process all over again, it at times seems like the portion that is overwhelming completely swamps the other. It's difficult to put the rocky experience of the transfer process into words, so I've found than non-other than Michael Scott can speak for the transfer community.

Here are the many emotions/experiences/feelings of participating in the college transfer process:

When you come home and relatives won't stop asking you how college is going, and you want to say this

But instead you do this:


"It's going great, grandma!"

Strolling into information sessions like you own the place.


After all, you did spend three years on a process that ultimately got you to a place you dislike–so your judgement shouldn't be questioned.

Reaching a new analytical level on your supplemental essays.


When admissions offices say that they expect transfer students to have their intended majors/career aspirations figured out.


What do you want us to do? To promise that we have bright futures AND hopes and dreams? Ridiculous.

Spending all of Winter Break writing application essays.


...but you really cannot complain because this time

Getting so caught up thinking about where you'll be next year that you start disliking your current school even more.

When college's ask why they should accept you.


Please believe me!

Checking for your admissions decision every hour of every day, only to be disappointed every. single. time.

...and when a school changes or misses its release date that you've been looking forward to for the last 3 months.

...and watching from your computer screen as High school seniors post their acceptances and you still know nothing.


BUT when you finally get THE EMAIL.


And you get accepted!

Phase 1:

Phase 2:


and Phase 3:


And yes, it really is like this.

But when you realize being accepted means leaving your new college friends.

Because you may not have learned to love your school, but you sure did learn to love your friends.

..so you will stay close.


(Not from the Office, but the GIF was too perfect)

And when you realize that you did it and that you are OUT OF HERE!

Close enough.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
