Summer is almost over, and before you know it we will all be back at our schools studying our brains out for that higher GPA. Even though it is always bittersweet for me to say goodbye to summer I get excited for a new year at school, because it is always guaranteed to bring many new and exciting opportunities. However, like any college student, I sort of have a love/hate relationship with college, mostly because yes, I love the social aspect but sometimes the late night studies and infamous finals are really not my best friends.

Who else depicts the struggles of a college student better than a man who never even went to college in the first place? (Yes I know, that makes no sense) Sure, Michael Scott didn't go to college, but he sure got to experience some college student moments in his own life while working at Dunder Mifflin. To be honest, I cannot think of anyone else who experienced so many college student struggles, more so than any college student I have met! Here is a list of a Michael Scott moments for every college struggle:

1. Procrastination at its finest.

2. Your diet in college has never been so on point.

3. When you try to help your friend study but they keep getting sidetracked.

4. Thanks to tuition and groceries your bank account is pretty much dead.

5. When your professor's rant in the middle of his lecture makes absolutely no sense.

6. When your professor decides to add in a last minute assignment.

7. When your professor suggests a book to read for fun that applies to the class but is not required.

8. Whether you gained the "freshman 15" or not, thanks to all of the snacking sometimes you can feel a little--bloated.

9. Creativity flows best when you're writing that paper that you don't really even understand or know what you're doing, but you know for certain that you're pretty good at writing fluff.

10. When class is done, but that one kid in the front won't stop talking.

11. The hopefulness of passing the class after taking the final.

12. You've mastered class presentations.

13. Anytime you thought you had your life in order.

14. Netflix has never really been a study motivator.

15. When you just don't understand anything in class.

16. You realize eating healthy just isn't as glamorous as it sounds.

17. When at moments you feel helpless and desperate.

18. Your thoughts on making friends at school.

19. The internet has been your lifesaver.

20. Two words: finals week.

21. When the professor tells you the final is cumulative.

22. Your thoughts as you enter the classroom you're going to take your final in:

23. But after all of the hard work, you sure know how to have a good time to celebrate.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
