12 Times 'The Office' Described Summer For College Students

Affinity Magazine

Summer is the perfect time to relax and live stress free for a few months. Time for Netflix, tanning, vacations, and lots of sleep which makes up for all of the all-nighters pulled during the semester at school. Making the transition from living on my own to living under my parents' roof again, summer is a time for change, which can be odd. There's no better way to describe weird summer feelings than the cast of "The Office".

1. Running into old high school classmates you couldn't stand to be around

Four years of high school was more than enough time for us to communicate. If you see me out and about and feel like saying hi.....Don't.

2. Having to get a job because you're so broke it's sad

I have no money to do anything, I have no money to go anywhere. Help me, I'm poor.

3. Seeing how many hours your boss schedules you a week

I have no energy to do anything, I have no time to go anywhere.

(If my boss sees this: JK Anna, I love my job and working at the shop please don't fire me!!)

4. My parents get mad because I never want to get out and do anything

College kicked my butt. All i want to do is catch up on sleep and all of my Netflix series. No, i probably won't leave my room much and yes, I am alive.

5. You can pull up to your old high school and visit

It's great to take some time to reminisce on the best (and worst) years of your life at your good ole' alma mater.

6. Trying to make plans but my friends are all busy

Friend time is the best time. Unless our plans fold and no one can do anything on the rare occasion that I feel like being social.

8. But then the stars align and we're all free to do something together as a squad

Everyone is free to get together and were all united once again. Summer time has it's perks.

9. Realizing you live with your parents again and you can't do whatever you want anymore

What do you mean I can't leave to get Taco Bell at 2 AM??? What are rules? Curfew??

10. When summer is interrupted by school and classes

11. And meanwhile, all I can think about is what I could be doing....

Grind doesn't stop, not even for summer.

12. But even with a few classes, life is great because technically it's still summer

No matter what your summer plans are, enjoy it while you can!

14 Examples Of Twenty-Somethings #Adulting

#Adulting is hard.

University of Minnesota Twin Cities

Huffington Post

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

8 Things That Anyone Who Went To A Small School Knows

Sometimes bigger isn't always better.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

12 Most Annoying Things About Working In Sales

No, I can't help you.

Oakland University

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
