You're turning in a paper minutes before it is due. You're suffering from lack of sleep and proper nutrition. You're staying up all night cramming for a test. You would do just about anything for a free meal. Who are you? A college student.

If I had to guess, you are probably procrastinating on an assignment right now as you read this. If so, you are definitely in the right place. Here are 38 times "The Office" helps to accurately display the life of a college student.

2. Working in a group project with people who cannot agree on anything.

3. Receiving an e-mail that class is cancelled.

4. When you and your friends survive a sleepless finals week.

5. When your computer crashes right before you submit a 10-page research paper.

6. Giving the honest explanation of why your assignment is late.

7. We all know that one guy who always has to challenge everything the professor says.

8. When anyone offers you free food.
