College As Told By "The Office"

The TV series "The Office" does a beautiful job of portraying exactly what I'm feeling a lot of the time as I travel through the journey called college. The moments of happiness, sadness, and "Why is this happening to me?" are all part of the great experience.

1. The first day of classes, when it feels impossible to do this all day.

2. The morning after a party when you're wondering exactly who you sent those great Snapchats to.

3. The night of the party...

4. Exam week, the longest five days of our lives.

5. When a professor gives you an assignment to do over break and says it's due the day you get back.

6. Writing a paper the night before it's due. Generally for me it's 4 a.m. and I'm sipping on Diet Coke wondering where I went wrong.

7. When it feels like every assignment in the world has been assigned to you in one day.

8. When someone hits on all of your friends but you. Don't worry, Darryl has been there too.

9. That kid that thinks the due dates don't apply to them.

10. When your friend group doesn't tell you what's going on, but you're not giving up that easily.

11. Finding an amazing group of friends who are there for you no matter what; it may have been difficult at first, but now you can't imagine your life without them.

12. When you're out of groceries and the cafeteria is closed.


13. Walking out of Biology.

14. After you get the best email a student can receive: that class is canceled.

15. When you receive your bill for the semester and realize you're going to be in debt for the rest of your life.

16. After taking the last exam before winter break.

17. You may be broke, but you always make sure you're friends have an awesome birthday. Even if you just print out decoration.

18. Going home for the first time feeling like you know everything there is to know about everything.

19. That kid who says the most frustrating things and you have to keep your cool.

20. When someone asks what's wrong after a very stressful day.

21. Leaving your friends, whether it be for a couple weeks, summer, or graduation. Goodbyes are hard and appreciating the times you have while you have them is so important because these are some of the best days of our lives.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
