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.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
