15 Times 'The Office' Inadvertently Describes College
The Odyssey

College is different for everyone but there are some experiences that have similar reactions all across the board. Here are 15 times that the American TV show, "The Office," inadvertently describes college.

1. When writing an essay for any class.

Writing a college essay is an intimidating task whether or not you are good at a subject or not and more often than not, you have no idea what direction to go in.

2. Walking out of class every day.

Especially if you're are in a major-specific course, there are rarely days you walk out of a class and feel perfectly content with the material that was just given to you.

3. Free Food in the Quad.

It's college and the need for free is real. Some might say that the lines aren't worth the wait, but they clearly haven't eaten Ramen for 7 meals straight yet.

4. Waking up on Sunday morning.

Sunday's are usually the worst day of the week solely because we all know Monday is right after it and we only have so many hours to relax and have fun before we return to class.

5. The food in the Dining Hall.

I know that cooking food in large quantities with high quality is difficult, but I would rather wait a few more minutes than my food still tastes like the ground.

6. When someone in your group doesn’t do their part of the project.

Group projects are great until that one person decides that they don't have to do anything but expect the same grade.

7. After you help your friend with a problem on the homework.

Helping out your friends is great, especially if you're the only one around that can save them from failing the assignment.

8. Exam Week is coming up.

There is no stress like studying for multiple exams at one time and there certainly is no time for nonsense.

9. When the line at the dining hall is long.

It's hard enough to find time to eat in college, so walking into the caf to see a line of 20 people at the only decent food line can make you feel some type of way.

10. The food served at the dining hall.

Let's be real, it's great that there is an abundance of food available, but quality beats quantity.

11. Looking at your bank account.

It's college and your money is scarce. Even if you are able to hold down a job while participating in extracurriculars, and keeping your grades up, the money somehow just disappears.

12. When the dorm above you decides to blast music, so you declare war.

In this type of situation, you fight fire with fire.

13. After every assignment in college.

This one speaks for itself and is surprisingly true.

14. When you’re only halfway done with that night's assignments and you’ve hit your max stress level.

Sometimes the stress is too much to handle and you would do anything for it to just stop for one moment.

15. College is hard, stressful, and a bit overwhelming, but let’s be real, who really wants to get out and start in the “real” world?

Sometimes the workload and stress make it feel like a never ending process but if we take a step back, we realize that college is pretty great.

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
