College As Told By The Office

This is how the popular television show The Office correlates with a typical college experience.

College As Told By The Office
The Huffington Post

There are two things I love in this world: College and The Office.

I've been watching the show since it came on the air, and I have been in love with it ever since. I've watched the entire series approximately six times, and as I've gotten older I have realized how similar the show is to my college experience.

Here are some ways that The Office correlates with my college experience.

1. When you get to go back to your campus after summer and breaks are over

2. When you've had a really "ruff" day and you just want to go home and see your dog (yes pun intended... I'm funny)

3. When you find out that one of your closest friends is in one of your classes

4. When you don't understand something so you ask your professor to explain it, but then after they try to explain what you're learning it still doesn't make any sense

5. When you're in the dorms and someone forgets to put water in their mac and cheese cup and sets off the fire alarm

6. When your professor says something that could be taken in a different meaning...

7. When you look at all of the assignments you have written down and realize you have no time to do anything remotely fun over the weekend

8. But you end up budgeting your time so you can have fun over the weekend

9. And when I say budgeting your time, I really mean saying screw it you'll do it all in one day

10. When you're told "get out and get involved!" and you think trying an intramural sport that you've never played before is a good idea

11. When realize that all of your assignments you've been putting off are due on the same day

12. And finally, when you realize that time is going by too quick, and you wish you could just stay on campus with your college friends for a little while longer

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.
