12 Ways All College Students Are Like Michael Scott From The Office

Though we all technically have a higher chance of getting more sleep than we did in high school, college students — very much like Michael Scott from "The Office" — tend to procrastinate until we have no option but to do our work.

But, then again, we all love Michael Scott anyway...so we don't really mind the resemblance. Here are 12 ways all college students are exactly like Michael Scott.

  1. You take naps whenever possible & how dare anyone try to wake you up.
  2. And those days that you don’t even know what day it is and you just can’t anymore.
  3. You used to ignore caffeine like it was something you don’t need, but now you’re inhaling coffee and swallowing sugar like there’s no tomorrow.
  4. Somehow you make it to those 8 am classes and realize you forgot your assignment — and there's that one kid who you know will tell the professor.
  5. Then you have those morbid presentations — you know: the type you tell yourself you can wing and get yourself through but then 10 minutes before you panic and attempt to cram? Yeah, those.
  6. By that point it's Wednesday when you actually realize it...
  7. And there's no difference between how you feel and what people see.
  8. So of course at this point your dressing skills have gone to dogs when someone tells you, "You look comfortable!"
  9. But then you have a newly scheduled quiz for Friday.
  10. And before you know it, all you do during the week is eat, sleep, study and repeat.
  11. But as soon as the week started the week ended, and it's the weekend.

But just like Michael Scott, we're all just trying to be good people — but don't forget to take a breather every now and then! (And a hella good power nap!)

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right? I mean I went through four years of tough classes and serious self-searching (and crying). What I found overall was Senioritis sneaking up on me.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.
