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:

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
