Being a college student is certainly a unique experience and sometimes it takes an unique person to be able to explain the struggles and accomplishments that come along the way. Behold, Michael Scott, regional manager of the Dunder Mifflin Scranton branch. Some of his words and moments as the "World's Best Bost" can easily relate to living life as a college student. Here are a few of the best:

1. Watching the professor put up the next slide one minute before class ends

It's a moment of panic, disappointment, and anger all mixed into one.

2. Finding out you passed a test you thought you failed for sure

It may only have been by one point, but that's progress.

3. Telling yourself that you're going to work all night, but then you watch "The Office" instead

It's not necessarily a bad thing, as long as you finished that paper that's due tomorrow.

4. Seeing your best friend after they skipped class the other day

I'm not mad at you personally; I'm mad that you left me in there all alone.

5. Sitting through any lecture

Big words at 8AM never make any sense.

6. When people are trying to get you to pay their tuition

It's a common joke among college students that should never be taken seriously.

7. Finally getting the chance to go out on a food run

Nothing is better than you and your bestie breaking free to grab some burgers and frozen yogurt.

8. Finding out the class you need is only offered at 8AM

This is a moment that should never be wished upon anyone, not even your worst enemy.

9. Trying to make the length requirements on a paper

You just have to add a ton of fancy words and hope for the best.

10. Remembering that part of your grade is participation and attentiveness in class

Suddenly you perk up, wipe the drool from your mouth, and scribble something in your notebook.

12. Trying to be the life of the party on the weekends

It's time to let loose, go crazy, and regret it all Monday morning.

13. Remembering that napping wasn't part of your schedule today

Because a 15 minute cat-nap always turns into an hour long snooze.

14. Making it to the end of the semester in one piece

Only a few tears were shed along the way, but you made it!

As many college students say, college is a series of ups and downs, good days and bad days, challenges and achievements. Whenever the pressure is getting to be too much, put down the textbook and flip on your favorite show. Maybe it's about a paper company in Scranton, and maybe it isn't. But take the time to relax, get inspired, and then hopefully find your way back to your work. If not, there's always tomorrow!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
