During the fall semester of my freshman year of college, I started binge-watching "The Office" on Netflix. It took me until around finals week to complete the whole series, where I spent days crying over the finale.

After my tears have been shed, I realized how the majority of the characters from "The Office" are #relatable to people that I know or even me. For example, I can easily state that I have Phyllis's sass and Pam's charm and persistence, while my friend Analisa has Stanley's sass and Kevin's clumsiness.

But the one character that I believe that everyone can relate to (especially my friends Alexa and Raj) is the Assistant to the Regional Manager (yes, that is his job title and you shouldn't question it), Dwight K. Schrute. Between his over-the-top personality (whether he is freaking out or just being himself) and his brutally honest and knowledgeable opinions, we all have those moments where we are just either absolutely done with life or way too excited for life to even be happening.

So here is how moving day for returning college students is as told by Dwight K. Schrute:

1. When you are carrying in way too much stuff:

2. When you are reuniting with your friends who you have not seen for months:

3. When you first enter your dorm and it's not as nice as you thought:

4. When you first enter your dorm and it's better than you thought:

5. When your parents are saying goodbye to you:

6. When you are saying goodbye to your parents:

7. When your parents think that you put up way too many decorations:

8. When there are too many people in your way as you are carrying in a bunch of stuff:

9. When you already don't like your new roommate:

10. When you already love your new roommate:

11. When you have to start unpacking and organizing your things:

12. When you finally finish unpacking/organizing your things:

13. When you realize that you start classes soon:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
