16 Quotes From 'The Office' To Inspire Any College Senior

Mariah Datema

After re-watching "The Office" recently, I realized many of the most quote-able moments related perfectly to my life leading up to my college graduation. I'm tired of school. I'm excited to be done. I'm scared of the real world. And I mostly don't know what's going on most of the time.

Since these are also many themes presented in "The Office", I figured it would only be appropriate to share some quotes that are the most relatable to a soon-to-be college graduate. Enjoy!

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

"I stopped caring a long time ago." - Creed Bratton

"Mo' money mo' problems." - Michael Scott

"And I knew exactly what to do. But in a much more real sense, I had no idea what to do." - Michael Scott

"I DECLARE BANKRUPTCY!" - Michael Scott

" I guess I've been working so hard, I forgot what it's like to be hardly working." - Michael Scott

"Why is this so hard? That's what she said." - Jan Levinson

"I understand nothing." - Michael Scott

"I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them." - Andy Bernard

"You have no idea how high I can fly." - Michael Scott

"I am running away from my responsibilities, and it feels good." - Michael Scott

"Sometimes I'll start a sentence and I don't even know where it's going. I just hope I find it along the way." - Michael Scott

"You guys, I'm like really smart now, you don't even know." - Kelly Kapoor

"Oh my god, okay it's happening. Everybody stay calm. Everybody stay calm! Stay f***ing calm!" - Michael Scott

"Catch you on the flippity-flip." - Michael Scott

Whether you need inspiration or something to relate to, "The Office" always has the best quotes. For those of us graduating in December, we have less than two months to go; we can make it! Let these quotes remind you that you are not alone in how you feel. We may have stopped caring a long time ago, but it's happening, so stay f***ing calm!"

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
