This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at PSU chapter.

As college students, we are all too familiar with the struggles of balancing schoolwork and our social lives while simultaneously trying to build up an amazing resume to prepare us for the real world. Who better to articulate our day-to-day thoughts than The Office’s very own Kelly Kapoor?

1. When you’re trying to text a guy for the first time.

2. When your professor makes a major adjustment to the syllabus halfway through the semester and then asks if there are any questions.

3. When you really want to go out on a Thursday but none of your friends will go with you.

4. When you ace that exam you’ve spent the past week studying for.

5. When you realize you’ve gained the freshman 15, the sophomore 15 and the junior 15…

6. What you really want to say during your internship interview.

7. When you somehow miraculously manage to write three papers, study for two exams and work 10 hours at your part-time job all in one week and still have time to take a nap on Friday afternoon.

8. When you have no time to pick up another extracurricular but you think you NEED it for your resume.

9. When you stay in by yourself on a Friday night…

10. When you just can’t make it through your long day of classes.
