'The Office' Characters As College Students
Washington Post

Ever wonder what The Office characters would've been like in college? Well, this may answer your question. Behold, a list of our favorite Dunder Mifflin employees and all of their painfully true-to-character college counterparts. Are you a Kelly? An Erin? A Kevin? Let's just hope you're not a Toby.

1. Dwight: Overachiever

The overachieving teacher's pet who reminds the professor about last night's homework that everyone else forgot to do.

2. Michael: The RA

The RA who always organizes activities for the dorm and tries to get people to like him but never actually helps his residents with their problems.

3. Jim: The Crush

Everyone's favorite kid on campus who everybody has a crush on, even the cafeteria ladies. Always pulls pranks in the dorms.

4. Pam: The Optimist

The relentless optimist who is drowning in schoolwork, relationship problems, problems at work, and student loan debt but manages to keep trucking along each day.

5. Kevin: "That Guy"

The kid who asks the same question four times in class and is always at the dining hall, probably chewing with his mouth open.

6. Stanley: The Senior

The senior who is 100% done with school, naps through class, and is out the door the second it's time for class to end even if the professor is still talking.

7. Andy: The Ivy League Wannabe

We get it, you go to an Ivy League.

8. Ryan: The Know-It-All

The cocky kid everyone hates who has an opinion about everything. Always has the newest iPhone and reads Business Insider and the Wall Street Journal during class.

9. Kelly: The Sorority Girl

The girl who's always holding a Starbucks drink and wearing her sorority letters. Spends every class shopping online and knows all the dirt about everyone on campus.

10. Meredith: The Rebel

The hyper-sexual and slightly terrifying kid who brings a waterbottle full of vodka to her 9am.

11. Creed: The Quiet Druggie

The quiet kid you don't notice sitting in the corner who gets arrested out of the blue one day because he was leading a drug operation from his dorm room.

12. Angela: The Uptight Yo-Pro

The uptight young professional who complains about getting a 95 and has a dorm filled with pictures of her cats because she likes animals more than people.

13. Oscar: The Tour Guide

The passive-aggressive kid who's really friendly and gives campus tours but you know is always silently judging everyone.

14. Erin: The Eager Freshman

The eager freshman who's involved in every club on campus and dreams of being the school mascot.

15. Phyllis: The Mom Friend Of The Group

The mom friend who brings homemade cookies to class. No one underestimates her wild side though; they know she can party with the rest of 'em and has the craziest stories.

16. Darryl: The Romantic

The hopeless romantic who works at the local pizza place and writes his number on the inside of the boxes getting delivered to sororities.

17. Toby: ....It's just Toby

He's...well...Toby.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
