"The Office"has great life moments, but if it were a television series based in college, these one liners truly could come up in the typical college kid scenario, especially during Welcome Week. Welcome Week has its ups and downs, so sit back and enjoy a relatable laugh with Michael Scott and "The Office."

That moment when you realize it’s like a mini vacation before classes start.

“I am running away from my responsibilities. And it feels good.” -Michael

When moving into the dorms, you realize there are way more people than an elevator can hold.

“There’s too many people on this Earth. We need a new plague.” - Dwight

Meeting new people in your hallway...

“Sometimes I’ll start a sentence and don’t even know where it’s going, but hope I find it along the way.” - Michael

Making a mental list on how to survive without mom and dad.

“Make friends first, Make sales second, Make love third. In no particular order.” - Michael

Figuring out when to start pre-gaming and going to the party, but you realize who cares since no class is tomorrow.

“It’s never too early for ice cream.” - Michael

When you make sure you fit in at your first college party.

“Whenever I am about to do something, I think would an idiot do that. And if they would I do not do that thing.” - Dwight

The party is super crowded and someone starts dancing with you...or you at least think they are.

“I’m not superstitious, but I am a little-stitious.” - Michael

Oops, it got busted. Okay, what are we supposed to do?

“Just pretend like we’re talking, until the cops leave.” - Creed

The hangover from drinking last night gets to you when you try to have more fun.

“I am dead inside." - Michael

….But you decide what the hell; why not go out again because there's no class just yet.

“I stopped caring a long time ago.” - Creed

Then the next day you have to wake up early to meet friends for breakfast.

“I’m an early bird and a night owl.” - Michael

When you realize your bank account is low, due to eating pizza after hours too much.

“I declare BANKRUPTCY!” - Michael

And then Sunday night rolls around. You realize that you actually have to get your sh*t together for class tomorrow.

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

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
