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.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
