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.

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.

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
