College is an exciting time in a young person's life. We're starting this whole new chapter, meeting different kinds of people, finding out what we want to do with the rest of our lives (or at least attempting to); the list goes on. But regardless of how exciting this is, there are struggles as well. Difficult classes, annoying peers, always being broke (seriously, always); college is extremely stressful!

Instead of listing potential stressors you may find yourself relating to, how about we bring in two legendary television characters to help take some of the seriousness out of it. So here are problems you'll find yourself having to face in college, told with the help of Michael Scott and Dwight K. Schrute.

1. Trying to focus AND stay awake in an 8 a.m. lecture.

2. Bombing an exam so badly, you can't help but laugh, even though you're kind of dead inside.

3. The person sitting next to you in class smells like B.O. And did I mention it's a two-hour class?

4. Speaking of obnoxious classmates, how about that kid behind you who decided to bring a loud four-course meal to class?


5. Three words: Dining. Hall. Food.


6. At the end of the year, you might end up hating your roommate.

7. Trying to reach that page number requirement for a paper on something you know nothing about.

8. You're so focused on your schoolwork and passing all of your classes that you don't even know what's hip anymore.


9. Looking at your bank account after you've paid for tuition and books.


But despite these struggles, college is still one of the greatest times of our lives. So live it to the fullest.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
