17 Quotes From "The Office" That Students Can Relate To

A regular office can be boring, repetitive in its work and did I mention boring? Thank goodness the amazing show The Office is nothing like a regular office. This comedy is funny, the people are over the top, and the boss is one of a kind. In other words, these characters can mirror what it is like to be a college student sometimes.

1. "Read it? I own it! But no I have not read it."

Every. Textbook. Ever.

2. "We’re not gonna die of radon. We’re gonna die of boredom."

Because no one wants to sit in a classroom taking notes for more than 20 minutes. Not even 20 minutes...

3. "I am Beyoncé, always."

4. "You know what? I’m sick of this. I’m sick of the disapproving little head shakes. If you think that’s going to have any effect on me, it will not."

When you have to admit what you REALLY got on a test to your parents...

5. "I knew that summer had to end sometime. It’s sad though. Because I had a great summer."

Even if we didn't have a great summer, it is probably better than attempting to read textbooks, write 10 page research papers and taking midterms and final exams.

6. "No! God please no! No! God! No! No! NOOOOOOOO!"

We all have these moments. Realizing you procrastinated too long, class isn't canceled, or once you finish a show on Netflix.

7. "That’s what she said!"

This was probably our first real sexual innuendo. But it never seems to go out of style.

8. "The rules of shotgun are very simple and very clear. The first person to shout shotgun when you are within the sight of the car gets the front seat. That’s how the game’s played. There are no exceptions for someone with a concussion."

This probably started when we were finally old enough to ride in the front seat of a car. But if you are not driving, you definitely run to the car and yell out shotgun as fast and as loud as you can.

9. "Maybe there is some sort of animal we can make a sacrifice to."

Anything to pass Spanish class....

10. "If there was a God, Ryan and I would be together by now."

Gosling or Reynolds. Either one would suffice.

11. "There is a god! And he has a plan for us after all."

That moment when you pass a test you forgot to study for or a paper you wrote in 2 hours.

12. "I feel like I’m dyin’ inside. I feel like Neve Campbell in Scream 2. She thinks she can go off to college and be happy, and then…the murderer comes back and starts killing off all her friends."

Finals week. Enough said.

13. "There are too many people on this earth. We need a new plague."

Trying to drive to campus or finding an elevator that isn't full before you're late.

14. "I’m not superstitious, but… I’m a little-stitious."

We are not about to break a mirror or walk under a latter when a test date is approaching.

15. "Sometimes I’ll start a sentence and I don’t even know where it’s going. I just hope I find it along the way."

Every single time we have a class discussion.

16. "I want people to be afraid of how much they love me."

17. "I’m running away from my responsibilities. And it feels good."

We may not hop on a train, but we do have Hulu and Netflix.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
