College has its ups and downs, to say the least. It makes for some pretty great memories and probably some of the best times of your life, but between classes and parties and learning how to adult, it can be way too much to handle sometimes. Thankfully, the staff of Dunder Mifflin can relate.

1. When the freshman 15 kicks in but your confidence is doing just fine.

2. When you've been moved in for two weeks and you're already missing home.

3. How it feels when you try to carry all your groceries to your room in one trip.

4. When you've been driving laps around every parking lot on campus and there isn't a single space available.

5. When you realize syllabus week is over and you actually have real responsibilities.

6. When you go to your advisor and they ask you what you need help with.

7. When you're trying to be productive and get your day started but instead you're still sitting in your dorm wearing your sweatpants and drinking coffee.

8. When you're trying to have a good time at the football game but you're surrounded by sloppy drunks.

9. When the weekend finally arrives.

10. When your weekend ends up on social media.

11. When your semester bill comes in and you still have to buy groceries and gas and other adulting things.

12. Your teacher that won't let you use Keynote even though every student has a MacBook.

13. When you're part of a group project and you get stuck doing all the work just for everyone else to complain about the way you did things.

14. Finals week in a nutshell.

15. When finals are over and you make it to Christmas break.

16. When it's time to register for classes and everything overlaps.

17. When you actually have an A in one of your classes.

18. When you've just had enough.

19. When you finally make it to summer.

20. When you realize all the stress and chaos was totally worth the memories you made.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
