21 Times "The Office" Accurately Described College Life

College. It's stressful, it's scary, it's overwhelming, it's our lives. From waiting in dining hall lines to hating 8 a.m. classes, "The Office" always seems to capture these days of our lives. To prove it, here's 21 times our friends from Dunder Mifflin accurately described life as a college student:

1. Waiting in a giant line for food at the caf.

Also whenever prospective students visit and flock to the best food before you can.

2. Jumping into bed after class.

*Kicks over lamp, breaks phone*

3. Taking your student ID picture.


They all look like a mug shot anyway.

4. Seeing your crush across campus.

*Suddenly forgets all English*.

5. When you pretend to study for more than four minutes.

But really just watched Netflix with your book open next to your laptop.

6. Thinking you failed your exam but you actually passed.

I am Beyonce.

7. Thinking you passed your exam but you actually failed.

Do not cry. Do not cry. Do not cry.

8. Sitting down to write an essay.

Or realizing you've repeated the same sentence four times in your intro paragraph.

9. Getting up for your 8 a.m. class.

Or, alternatively, finals week.

10. Realizing you spent your last $10 on a fidget spinner and a latte.


(Or literally anything else you didn't actually need.)

11. Trying to stay awake in class.


More coffee needed.

12. When that one member of your group does nothing for the project.


Let's just not even put your name on this.

13. Doing everything in your power to avoid work.


Except there's no slivers for "Netflix" or "Snacking".

14. Trying to convince your friends from home to come visit you at school.


We have an ice cream place? And....a floor for you to sleep on?

15. When your professor assigns an essay, an exam, and a project in the same week.

A vicious, vicious cycle.

16. When the library is supposedly haunted and have to you go there after dark.


What flashlights are for.

17. When you've already had a bad day and things just get worse.

My heart.

18. When you're distracted in class and the professor calls on you.


Probably thinking about food, honestly.

19. Contemplating dropping out of school.

Point noted.

20. When the professor lets you out of class early.

*Smashes into door*.

21. Waiting for summer break.

We're right there with you, Kev.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Syllabus Week As Told By Kourtney Kardashian

Feeling Lost During Syllabus Week? You're Not Alone!

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.
