If Virginia Colleges Were Characters From 'The Office'
The Office

The Office" is one of the most popular TV shows for the millennial generation. Whether you watched the nine seasons live, or binge watched the entire show on Netflix in two weeks, you probably call yourself a committed fan. You most likely have seen time taking buzzed quizzes to determine which character from the show you are, and you probably have taken it again because you didn't like the results. We have fallen in love with the characters, jokes, scenes, pranks, and relationships in this amazing show.

With that being said, this is my opinion of which character of "The Office" aligns with a few of the Virginia colleges and universities. Please enjoy.

CAUTION: THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION AND IS NOT MEANT TO INSULT ANYONE OR ANY SCHOOL.

1. Virginia Tech: Michael Scott

Probably the most popular school in Virginia, fun loving and the star of the show. You cannot have Virginia without Virginia Tech.

2.James Madison University: Dwight Schrute

Probably second best, behind Tech. It the Assistant to the most popular college in Virginia. Can get really crazy, but still stays on track.

3. UVA: Andy Bernard

The “Nard Dog” would be at UVA football games dressed to the nines. He screams UVA prep, and definitely be apart of the Virginia Gentleman Accapellla group.

4. University of Mary Washington: Pam Beesly

Not as popular as the other schools, but still a quality school. A school that you would be proud to go to, slightly artistic and very dream driven.

5. Old Dominion University: Creed Bratton

Buckwild, an atmosphere that displays every aspect of Virginia. Partiers, Rednecks, NOVA, Liberals, Republicans--- they have it all.

6. George Mason University: Jim Halpert

Not completely sure how you ended up here, but you don’t hate it. A diverse atmosphere with little surprises around each corner.

7. Virginia Commonwealth University: Kelly Kapoor


Unique, dramatic, and a good time. Need I say more?

8. College of William & Mary: Oscar Martinez

Knows nearly everything, cultured, and educated. That's why if Oscar was a Virginia college he would be part of the Tribe.

9. Christopher Newport University: Erin Hannon

Preppy, spirited, and proud to be a Captain.

10. Radford University: Meredith Palmer

There is no character to better describe this school than Meredith. A party animal who bounces back from whatever comes at her, whether it is getting her stomach pumped, getting hit by a car, or being forced to go to rehab. Radford students will bounce right back from these things and make an appearance at the party on Saturday.

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.
