12 ways our crazy college lives relate to The Office

College: The Office Edition

If you are from Scranton, Pennsylvania, it is pretty much a sin if you have never watched or heard of The Office before. It's a hilarious show that we can all relate to in some way or another, while also getting in a good laugh. College is a roller coaster ride of different emotions, events and, most of all, randomness. I feel The Office can be just as random as our crazy college lives. So, here are 12 ways that college relates directly to The Office.

1. When you actually dress nice to class for once

Dressing nice for class gets old real quick, but sometimes you get in the mood to actually look presentable for once.

2. When nothing goes your way

We all have those days when nothing goes the way we plan. So, we feel like everything is just falling from beneath our feet...just like Kevin felt when he dropped his homemade chili.

3.The feeling you have when you don't know a soul in your class

That first day of class is always fun when you don't know a single person, right!? WRONG. It's never fun sitting in the back of the class, alone, on the first day.

4. Trying to stay healthy is sometimes a challenge

With all the stress of school, sometimes eating healthy is impossible and can be a struggle. But, we always force ourselves to eat the best we can!

5. That one professor who doesn't teach anything

We all have that one dreaded class when we look like a deer in the headlights when the professor talks or attempts to teach the class.

6. The feeling when class gets out early

There is no better feeling than getting out of class earlier than expected. Period.

7. Getting put in group projects with idiots

Group projects are the worst when you get paired up with random classmates, especially when you get stuck doing all the work.

8. When a class gets too boring for you to handle

Certain classes are just too boring to handle and everyone ends up dying of boredom.

9. When you have to drag your friends out for the weekend

It's always a bummer when your friends are too dead from the week to go out and have fun. Forcing them is always an option!

10. The feeling you get when you pass an exam you thought you failed

An unexpected A+ on a test is without a doubt the best feeling in the entire world.

11. When all your classes get so overwhelming you just quit

When all those tests, readings and papers end up being due the same week, the only option is to run.

12. In the end, you love college, your friends, and everything it offers

You find lifelong friends in college, and that is something to be very happy about.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
