The Buffalo Bills Season As Told By 'The Office'

'Tis the 2015-2016 Buffalo Bills season and the Bills are officially not making the playoffs, again. This year was an emotional roller coaster for Bills fans. We were promised to make the playoffs, we were promised success. All we got was sadness and bad hangovers.

Here's the recap of this season:

1. Rex Ryan promising that the Buffalo Bills will be in the playoffs this year.

We were pumped, we were ready to go! This is our year!

2. Game 1: Win against the Colts.

Wow, they played really good! Maybe something has changed with this team!

3. Patriots game.

Tom Brady wins again, but we really didn't see this as a surprise. Patriots are sadly very good, but us Bills fans shake it off. It's only game 2.

4. Big win against Miami!

We're back in business baby! Now we're heading in the right direction now.

5. Giants. Game.

This game left Bills fans emotionally damaged. We don't want to remember this game, this game crushed our little Buffalo souls.

6. Titans game. We won, but barely.

Score: 14 to 13. Bills mafia was a little nervous, but still holding out hope for the playoffs.

7. Bengals game.

Brutal. The pain hurts everywhere. The Bengals were an undefeated team at this point of the season, but Bills fans thought there was a chance.

8. London game.

This was suppose to be one of our easier games. Everything that could go wrong, went wrong. Bills fans had to get up so early and watch the game from our laptops. Most of us were still drunk/hungover from the past night, but the result of this game all kept us drinking to numb the pain.

9. Bye week, Hallelujah.

Bills needed to get recharged and work on their defensive skills. Maybe the rest of the season will be different.

10. Games 9 and 10. Wins.

Let's go, baby! Bills are back at it! These games really helped our playoff chances because they were divisional games against the Jets and Dolphins.

11. Games 11 and 12. Losses.

What is happening? Bills fans are getting angry. We want answers. What is happening with this team? Why are they falling apart?

12. Win against the Texans.

After this win, we have a slim chance on being playoff bound. Bills fans are nervous, but optimistic. We can do this! We will break this 15-year-old playoff drought.

13. Game 14 and 15. I don't even want to talk about it.


The Buffalo Bills are officially eliminated from making the playoffs. It has been now 16 years since the Buffalo Bills have entered a post-season. Congratulations playoff drought, you can have a drivers license now.

14. The rest of the season is just a blur.

You don't look forward to Sundays as you used too. The "Shout" song is now a sad melody in your life. The reality has now settled in that you won't be wearing your head-to-toe Bills gear on Sundays again this season. You still wear your Bills apparel around town though, but just more sadly now.

The off season:


You make notes, check player's statistics. You pretend to be the GM and look at all the players that are available for grabs. We can't repeat this season again.

Being a Buffalo Bills fan is not an easy road to travel. You will get picked on by pretty much every team in the league. You will get your heart broken and your dreams crushed, but, in the end, you wear that Bills logo loud and proud.

We cheer every game like they have a winning record. We bleed red, white and blue every Sunday and we aren't afraid of disappointment. We always say, "There's always next year," to keep our spirits alive. Let's see what next season has in store for us.

Let's go Buffalo!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
