We may have more in common with Dwight than we realize.

If you're an avid watcher of "The Office", or even just a casual observer when it's on in the background at your friend's house, you know of the one and only Dwight Schrute. Dwight is a fascinating character because he manages to be the most diabolical yet at the same time the most innocent person in the office. Recently, in binge-watching many shows over the holidays, I've found certain aspects of Dwight's personality that have brought me to a startling realization... Dwight is me. And also maybe every other college student I know.

1. The inexplicable need to do stupid things.

It's just ingrained in the college mindset, guys. We can't help it.

2. Somehow thinking we're invincible.

I cannot tell you the number of times my friends and I have hopped rails, cones, and fences screaming, "Parkour!"... It's a problem.

3. Our social awkwardness when we, if ever, emerge from our dorms.

But how does one "communicate"? I don't understand this concept.

4. The dislike of crowds.

Seriously, there's a mob every time we walk outside to go to class or get food... send help.

5. Missing our parents and therefore, looking for parental figures...in everyone.

The guy who fixes the air vents looks just like my Dad, okay?!

6. Just feeling the need every once in awhile to scream.

Hey, it's good to relieve stress. This is an acceptable form... right?

7. Getting overly emotional when people say they're proud of us.

All our hard work doesn't get recognized enough... actually maybe it does, but tell us again anyway.

8. Just having way too many emotions all the time.

LIFE IS DIFFICULT RIGHT NOW, OKAY?!

9. Getting ridiculously excited whenever our friends actually follow through with weekend plans.

We low key haven't seen the outside world in months.

10. And making sure everyone actually gets out the door on time.

Nobody has time for your 5 outfit changes, Karen.

11. Trying to see the bright side amidst tests, papers, and studying.

... and kind of failing.

12. Taking every hard assignment as a personal attack.

Why would my professor give us a 10-page benchmark the week before Christmas if it's not because he hates me?

13. Always being there for our friends when they have meltdowns because we understand.

Usually, this involves multitudes of hugs and ice cream.

14. Getting way too excited about breaks.

Because these term papers have been driving us INSANE.

15. Then wanting to come back because we miss our friends too much.

Why did we ever think we could survive a month without them?!

16. Getting hyped for college games even if we don't usually like sports.

Shout out to my Havocs section at GCU! Lopes up!

17. The annoyance when people in our classes don't follow simple instructions.

Like, come on, you had one job...

18. And, of course, being logical about every decision.

Because this is college, after all.

19. Well... maybe not EVERY decision.

I mean, what fun would that be?

20. We can be ridiculously gullible.

Like to the point of believing our future self sent us a fax warning us that the coffee is poisoned... yeah.

21. But as dumb as we can be sometimes...

Hey, there's too many Justin's to keep track of these days.

22. We've still got a lot of love to give.

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.

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.
