10 College Problems As Explained By Dwight Schrute

Folklore says that the years you spend in college will be the best of your life, and there is absolutely no denying that college can be a pinnacle point on our paths. BUT with all the good, there's bound to be a little ugly here and there. Here are 10 problems we face as college students eloquently explained by Dwight K. Schrute.


1. When you're trying to study at the library, but the table behind you is being obnoxiously loud.

These dirty looks are warranted.

2. When the WiFi goes out on campus.

'nuff said.

3. When there are WAY too many people in your BADD duty car.

"Oh, you already have two people sitting on your lap? Okay, let's squeeze in another girl to lay across everyone." THIS IS NOT A CLOWN CAR, PEOPLE.

4. That moment when you fail your first test in college.

Beware: This can often lead to a mental breakdown followed by a slight desire to drop out of school altogether. Deep breaths.

5. When your roommates think it's funny to pull pranks on you.


You know what's sweeter than jello? Revenge...

6. When you're trying to go out and have a good time with you're friends, but everywhere you go is beyond crowded.

Because nothing feels better than being stepped on and bumped into at any local establishment.

7. When you order food but the delivery guy takes longer than expected.

No, it's cool, dude. Take your time. My stomach is making noises that resemble the mating call of a humpback whale, but take your time.

8. When you think you look super cool while dancing but you look like this...

You just keep doing you, though.

9. When you pull an all-nighter and NEED caffeine.

You don't care where it's from or how you get it. All you know is that you can not and will not function without some sort of caffeine pumping through your bloodstream.

10. When you see someone cute at the library, but you're too awkward to say hello.

My sincerest apologies for my lack of social skills.

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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
