25 Signs You're A College Student

College students are truly a different species all in their own way.

College students are truly a different species all in their own way. Here's just a few things we do:

1) You've mastered watching Netflix and listening to a lecture all at the same time.


2) Getting ready in the dark because you're running late? Check.


3) You've worn the same outfit at least four times in a row

4) You've given up caring how you look when going to class.

5) You pray every night December-February that it'll snow so classes get cancelled.


6) "Hit me, I dare you," you say as you cross the street and a car approaches.


7) Debating if it's really worth it to buy that textbook.


8) You've mastered the art of studying until 2 am the night before an exam and still get an A.


9) Waking up each morning and debating if you can skip class or not.

10) The stab you feel when the professor says the word limit for a aper.


11) Midterm season makes you want to clock out, finals season is even worse.

12) Second semester is the worst semester.


13) Christmas break is never long enough, even if it is a month long.


14) Holding your breath after walking up stairs so no one knows how out of shape you are.


15) You're greatest achievement is finishing all 9 seasons of a show in a single weekend.

16) Passing the gym every day saying tomorrow will be the day you start going.


17) Refreshing your email before a class just to make sure you didn't miss the 'class is cancelled' email.


18) Submitting a paper right as it's due.


19) For commuters: silence on the drive to campus, music blasting as you're leaving.


20) Avoiding 8 ams like the plague.

21) You use Rate My Professor as you walk into the class for the first time.


22) Free is your favorite word.


23) Naps are always on your list of things to do for that day.


24) You know that your study guide will never contain everything that will be on the exam.


25) You spend all your money on food and retail therapy.

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
