Kelly Kapoor, you really speak to me.

Senior Year Told By Kelly From 'The Office'
NBC

For those fellow Office lovers, I think we can all agree on a few things. For one, Dwight Schrute is one of the most obnoxious characters on the show but we truly love him. Two, Jim and Pam are serious friendship/relationship/marriage goals. And three, I would never, ever, ever want to work for Michael Scott.

There's one character in the show, however, that I feel like a lot of us can relate to the most. She's brutally honest, though a tad eccentric, but I can forever see myself connecting with her.

As I end my college career from Florida State, my last semester is starting to resemble a lot like the life of Kelly Kapoor's character in The Office. Mindy Kaling, who plays Kelly, is also a writer and producer for the show, so we can thank her for all of our unhealthy obsessions for it. I think I've seen the series at least three times through.

Sometimes we don't want it to admit it, but Kelly is a lot like us final semester seniors.

When formal is in a day, you don't have a dress, or even a date, because SYFI and you put everything 'til last minute. But you convince yourself that you are going to look hot regardless of all of that.


You realize you're about to graduate, so you should probably start to get your life and health together, hit the gym, and get rid of those boxes of mac and cheese. I feel you here Kelly.

It's your senior year, last semester, and you don't the time for a boyfriend. However you do have the time for lots of "dating!"

When you roll up in your fresh business attire with a fat stack of resumes at the Seminole Futures Career Fair.

When someone asks you your plans after college, and you have no idea, so this is the only response that you can come up with.

When someone has the audacity to ask you if you've finished that homework assignment. Like, no, I have not, I still have two more hours until it's due.

Like, a decision needs to be made. Do I get up and attend my 9 am? Or will I gave negative points in participation?

Thank you, Kelly Kapoor, to being the most relatable person on this show. Thank you for all of the advice that you have given us about life.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
