"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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
