"The Office" is arguably the most popular and most frequently binged television show on Netflix, especially amongst college students. This connection often makes me wonder how our favorite Dunder Mifflin employees would fare amongst the college students that so often watch them.

1. Michael Scott

Michael Scott is the super senior that still thinks that he is relevant. While most people at the school typically ignore his presence, they dedicate most of their time to messing with him or playing into his fantasy.

2. Jim Halpert

He is the kid that isn't really involved in much, but somehow still appears everywhere. Everyone knows his name and everyone seems to love him because he doesn't cause many issues. No matter how many girls comment on his good looks, he's still loyal to that one girl.

3. Pam Beesley

She is the girl that everyone loves because she is kind, sweet and does no harm to anyone around her. She's calm and sweet until she gets a few drinks in her... it's only a matter of time before she gets banned from Applebees, too.

4. Dwight Schrute

No one really knows much about this guy other than the fact that he is obsessed with being appreciated by whoever he chooses to latch onto. People tend to not mind him because he does have some redeeming qualities, but it's hard to enjoy the odd comments.

5. Angela Martin

This is the girl that when she lost the election for the student senate, she rented a room for herself in the library just to cry in. Somehow, she seems to be in charge of every organization on campus and trust me, she will tell you that she is the best and deserves to be at the top.

6. Kelly Kapoor

When she opens her mouth, people immediately tune her out. Everyone wonders why she continues to date Chad from Sigma Apple Pi since he seems to care more about his "Saturdays are for the Boys" flag than their relationship.

7. Ryan Howard

Ah, the resident Chad from Sigma Apple Pi. His priorities revolve around his own wellbeing, hence why he takes the corporate promotion without caring about how the rest of the office felt. He's the kid that takes every opportunity to demonstrate that he is smarter and more skilled than everyone else around him.

8. Andy Bernard

You're at a party and suddenly, the lights come on. The music has been turned off and everyone is confused until they notice the guy who had previously been screaming along to "Humble" at the top of his lungs with his fist in the wall. No one is surprised, since this happened last week, too.

9. Toby Flenderson

Unfortunately, there is always one person in the friend group that is picked on and teased relentlessly. Guys tend to be harsher with this criticism, so poor Toby would be the kid that is always called out by his friends and occasionally shunned.

10. Creed Bratton

Creed is the random old man that no one knows, but somehow always shows up to campus events. He's usually tolerated until he makes moves on some girls, but other than that, he lays low and enjoys the party. Some people love that an old guy shows up!

While we have been given clues throughout the series of how these characters would act in college -- through Michael's experience on Ryan's campus and Andy's constant references to his time at Cornell -- but we will never actually know for sure. These are just a few strong assumptions based on the adults that they had grown to become.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

cousins
Bailey Totten

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
