25 Struggles of College As Told By Michael Scott

Michael Scott (AKA one of TV's greatest characters of all time) understands work, people, and life in a frighteningly accurate way. My fellow college students understand that this point in the semester is comprised of a few emotions: including but not limited to fall adventure fever, studying apathy, lack of sleep emotional breakdowns, disdain toward professors, and confusion as to why we do this thing called "college" in the first place.

Don't worry, friends. Michael Scott gets it.

1. Procrastination

2. Diminishing Bank Account

3. B.S-ing Papers

4. Annoying Roommates

5. Homework

6. Finals Week

7. FOMO - Fear of Missing Out

8. Parents' Expectations

9. Job Search

10. Group Projects

11. Break-Ups

12. Social Media Distractions

13. Increasing Stress

14. The Belief You Are Invincible

15. Professors' Constant Reminders of Due Dates

16. Lack of Sleep

17. Partying Instead of Studying

18. Weight Gain

19. Trying to Remain Relevant While Adulting

20. Sitting Through Lectures

21. Blocking Out the Haters

22. Traveling Addiction but No Money to Travel

23. Dealing with College Student Flakiness

24. Netflix Binging


25. Answering Questions about Post-College Plans


In reality, college is definitely the best time of our lives from what we can tell. There are a few struggles along the way, but we take them in stride and laugh them off until we succeed.

Thank you, Michael Scott. Thank you for teaching us how to survive this whirlwind of life called college.

It happens to all of us, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas the catch up with you.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.

Even Shonda Rhimes, winning creator and executive producer of the hit TV shows Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, and The Catch agrees that relationships with fictional characters are real. In her book, The Year of Yes she states, "I have spent more time with Meredith and Christina then many of my actual friends...When you watched TV, even spending a full hour with Christina once a week, you were likely spending more time with her then you spent with most people in your life. That relationship was real."

Especially after starting college and having the stress and anxiety of tests, assignments, and just figuring out my future, the gym at my school has definitely been a place of relief for me and I have numerous reasons of why everyone should push themselves to get to the gym when they can.
