10 Adulthood Struggles Told By 'The Office' GIFs

NBC

1. When you keep making free trial accounts instead of paying for Netflix or Hulu:

Dwight: Yes, I have a wig for every single person in the office. You never know when you're going to need to bear a passing resemblance to someone.

2. When you force yourself to eat a healthy meal:

Adulthood is 9/10 parts parenting yourself and 1/10 vegetables.

3. When you prioritize your free time well:

Just because you're a grown up now does not mean you can't dream big!

4. When life just keeps happening and you don't get a break:

In that moment, we were all Kelly Kapoor.

5. When you need a little pep talk to get through the day:

""You miss 100% of the shots you don't take" - Wayne Gretsky" - Michael Scott.

6. When your boss asks "Who can pick up an extra shift this week?":

Make sure to suddenly remember that you just happen to be out of town or getting surgery or something at that time! Darn...

7. When you need to add some flavor to your job resume:

Every extracurricular counts for something, right?

8. When you invited "that one friend" to hangout:

How does anyone this age have that much energy?

9. When you finally break and re-download Tinder:

Let's play "did that person I knew in high school swipe right because we were friends or because I've had a glow up?"

10. When your family decides it's time for a reunion:

Turning invasive questions into a drinking game is a bad idea... or is it?

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

You can't just go to your room to take a nap in the middle of your classes.

Having to spend all your extra cash on gas for your car.

Speaking of money, you probably don't have a meal plan so you're forced to scrounge up some change or mooch off of your friends.

It can be harder to maintain the friendships you make with people from class.

Finding a parking spot.

It can be harder to be involved on campus because between your one, two, or three jobs and school you don't have much free time.

When you try to be super involved on campus, it can kill your sleep schedule.

It's impossible to do homework at home, but staying on campus isn't an option sometimes.

There are surveys and events that you can't participate in because you're a commuter.

Group projects are the bane of your existence.

Traffic.

Your backpack rivals that of a survivalist trekking in the woods.

Driving all the way to campus to find a note on the door of your classroom saying class was cancelled.

Because have you ever had to endure grilling your foot on a George Foreman?

1. When he just wanted bacon from his George Foreman grill

2. When he had money (and Jan) issues

3. When he got upstaged at Phyllis' wedding

4. When he unintentionally saved Meredith from rabies

5. When he wore a "bisexual" suit

6. When he had to apologize to Jesus

7. When his GPS drove him into a lake

8. When he had to deal with Ryan as his boss

9. When he couldn't fulfill his most generous empty promise

10. When this happened

11. When he struggled with a X-Mas break up

12. When he had to defend his generosity

13. When he threw a classy Christmas party for Holly but she had a boyfriend

14. When he had to stand up to peer pressure

15. When Toby was "Toby-ish"
