If Group Project Members Were "The Office" Characters

Group projects are, by far, the biggest wild card about college. The group members are the make or break factors. By the grace of a higher power, you get bomb members -- or you get the short end of the stick and get stuck with slackers, for lack of a better term. Luckily, "The Office" characters embody all possible group members you can have.

1. Creed Bratton.

The whole term, you're just really confused by everything this kid says. Any suggestion the Creed of your group has made no sense whatsoever. The crappy part? You're stuck listening to his rambling and you can't even set him up with a blog on Microsoft Word.

2. Angela Martin.

She's a little difficult to get along with. The Angela always thinks she knows best and really doesn't want the input from any of her other group mates.

3. Ryan Howard.

The Ryan is literally glued to his phone. He's a dreamer. He has unrealistic expectations and wants to put in none of the work. Ryan starts off as a promising group member, but you soon realize you've been stuck with someone almost as useless as Creed.

4. Angry Andy.

This kid was definitely spoiled by his parents and they paid people to do his projects since kindergarten. College is the first time the Andy is doing anything for himself and when things aren't going as he planned, he'll get kinda angry.

Unfortunately, that pizza was harmed in the making of this gif #RIP.

5. Michael Scott.

Michael isn't really taking this project seriously. He comes in, jokes around, doesn't really help in his contributions, then goes home and floods your group chat with memes. Even though for the entire term, the Michael doesn't know what's happening, somehow two weeks to the finish line, he pulls out the best project ever.

6. Phyllis Vance.

Phyllis is a wildcard. You're not really sure what you're dealing with. The Phyllis looks sweet, obedient, and innocent but then their words and actions completely contradict your assumption. The Phyllis just leaves you scratching your head because she was nothing like what you expected.

7. Kevin Malone.

He tries his best, he really does, but sometimes you wanna tell the Kevin to maybe try a little less.

8. Kelly Kapoor.

Kelly is a blabbermouth, she never shuts up. Unfortunately, nothing she talks about pertains to your project, but if you were wondering the current state of Hollywood or her boyfriend, Kelly is your go to gal!

9. Pamela Beesly.

Pam means well, she really does. She contributes as best as she can and sometimes she hits the jackpot, but usually Pam just has cute artsy ideas. But, she'll flirt with the teacher like when she tried to get Michael to agree to new chairs from the surplus money, Hot Tie Guy!

10. Dwight Kurt Schrute.

The ultimate kiss up, the Dwight will be overzealous about your project and will be trying much too hard to impress your teacher and give little to no care about how any of his group members feel about him. Dwight will do whatever he believes it takes to get to the top no matter what it takes to get there. Clearly, Dwight's way is the right way.

11. Toby Flenderson.

Toby is awful, that's all there is to say about it. Say no to Toby.

12. Jim Halpert.

Looks like a slacker, but he'll get the job done well and quickly. It won't be done well enough to get a 100 on the project, but Jim ensures a passing grade. The Jim will get it done quickly because there has to be enough time in the day for him to prank his neighbors.

Picking group project partners is basically a game of Minesweeper; tread lightly, friends.

On the Upper East Side, Blair Waldorf is an icon. She's what every girl aspires to be. She's beautiful, confident, and can handle any obstacle that life throws at her. Sure, she may just be a television character. But for me, she's a role model and theres a lot that can be learned from Queen B.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
