10 ways college is just like The Office

College: As Told By The Office

We all know college is a weird time in the life of students. You're in a place you don't know, with people you don't know, doing things you don't know. Let's face it, working for a life we don't know. College is one gigantic question mark. But that's okay, because we're all just wandering around this place, bumping into things, falling down stairs, staying up way too late, laughing way too loud, playing "what are the odds," and eating too much junk food, together. In a lot of ways, the randomness of The Office perfectly parallels with the craziness that is college.

1. When you have to buy everything for yourself

Well, most things... Thanks dad!

2. When you try to find a group to belong to

You'll be shocked by how much you can change around different people.

3. Rolling into class on a test day and wondering who these people are

How are they prepared for this?! They haven't come to a single lecture!

4. When you keep getting distracted in lecture

No one wants to listen to a four-hour-lecture about nutrition. Fun fact: I'm writing this in said four-hour-nutrition-lecture.

5. When you decide to dress up for class

Those days to happen, and when they do, dang. People will talk to you that have never talked to you before. Which is both cool, and terrifying.

6. When you get put with idiots on a group project


It'll happen, hopefully it's only once. But be prepared, the questions they ask make you want to pull your hair out.

7. When you don't read the book and try to act like you know what's going on

Sometimes you're just too busy, but seriously though, do your readings, it helps. A lot.

8. When you're trying to convince people you "hang loose"

But in reality you're an uptight book worm, or you sleep literally all the time.

9. When you did super bad on a test, but your friend got an A

Not like you're bitter or anything...

10. When you had a bad day and just want to unwind

Maybe cuz that one friend did super good and you got a 60.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
