11 Ways College Students Can Relate To Michael Scott At The End Of The Year

As the end of the school year approaches, I find myself going through many different emotions. Also, I find myself relating a lot to Michael Scott from "The Office" more and more each day. Here are some of the things going that most college students go through at the end of the semester.

1. When you finally show up to class

Not having to show up to class is such a nice luxury, until you actually decide to show up. When you actually decide to show up you will more than likely not understand anything that is going on in the class.

2. When you check your bank account

I don't even have to explain this one but all I have to say is that being a broke college student is a real thing.

3. Procrastination

We have all been there. Procrastination is a horrible thing, but doing anything sounds better than doing school work.

4. Emotional breakdowns

Sometimes it just gets to the point where you are so stressed out that you just need to have a breakdown, and that's okay.

5. When you never know what is going on

Even if you always go to class you will probably never know what is going on, being lost and confused is a normal thing in college.

6. Anger

At some point, you may or may not want to burn your school down. Even if you really want to, I don't suggest doing that.

7. College "diet"

At this point who cares if you eat ice cream for breakfast or end up eating too much food. Everyone is stressed out, do whatever you want.

8. More procrastination

I had to put procrastination down twice because it deserves it.

9. When your friends go out without you

Sometimes you have to choose to do school work over going out. This may be upsetting at first but it will be worth it in the end...hopefully.

10. Writing a paper

Papers are horrible. Usually, papers include not knowing what else to write down so you kind of just wing it and hope for the best.

11. When you're finally done

After all of the stress, you finally get to go and enjoy summer. You deserve to have three months off to just relax before you have to do school all over again.


Yes, college can be stressful and it always will be, but at the end of the day, you just need to be like Michael Scott. He also goes through some difficult times just like anyone else but he always remains positive. Remember, WWMSD? (What would Michael Scott do?)

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
