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.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
