14 Times Michael Scott Related To College Students On Winter Break

If you're like me (aka you have an incredible sense of humor) you've watched every episode of "The Office"... twice. The Michael Scott and Dwight Schrute duo never fails to keep me entertained, and I'm always laughing uncontrollably at the show. Surprisingly, even though Michael Scott is a manager for a paper company he seems to understands us college students quite well. It's not that us college students hate being home, it's just that we really like college. And going from talking to your family on the phone twice a week, to spending every waking moment with them for a month is a bit much. So, let us all take a moment to praise Michael Scott and the 14 times he explained how it feels to be a college student who returned home for winter break.

When you're fighting with your sibling, and your parents take their side instead of yours.

When you spend all of your Christmas money within a matter of two hours on things you probably didn't even need, but bought because they were on sale.

When your parents ask why there's a box of tissues next to you while you're on the computer checking if your final grades have been posted yet.

When your parents feel the need to wake you up at 8 a.m. so that you can 'stop wasting your day away by sleeping.'

When your family asks what happened to your plans of majoring in biology, and eventually becoming a doctor.

When a family member points out that even though you're excited to return to college in one week it means you'll also be returning to classes and homework.

When your parents suggest you start looking in to what summer classes are being offered at your college.

When your extended family members give you more money than normal for Christmas because they said they feel bad that 'you're a broke college student.'

When your family decides to gang up and make fun of you, so you just sit there like...

When you finally reunite with your high school friends, and have an excuse to get out of the house for a night.

When your family tells you your goal of getting a boyfriend/girlfriend next semester is never going to happen.

When you're singing to your favorite song in the shower, and your family yells at you to shut up through the door.

When your mom yells at you for how messy your room is, and how you still haven't fully unpacked yet.

When it's the last day of break, and finally time to go back to college.

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.
