"The Office" Characters as College Students

The characters loved by college students as college students.

"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.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
