College Life As Told By “The Office”

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

The Office has been a source of laughter and comfort through so many trying years of college students’ lives, but we never thought that we would relate to it so much as we do now…

 

When you’re trying to meet the word count for an assignment

 

When you’re so busy even speaking takes too much of your time

 

Color Coding your notes

 

When someone’s opinion is invalid

 

Your typical day

 

When your professor lectures the whole class period

 

Casual Dining

 

 

Going to your professor’s office hours

 

 

That one person that does nothing in a group project

 

 

When a professor pretends not to hear your question

 

 

That one kid that always asks questions the professor literally just answered

 

 

When a professor expects you to read and study over break

 

 

After acing a test

 

 

That one paranoid kid in the dorm

 

 

When you didn’t study for a test

 

 

Your 90 year old professor

 

 

Napping instead of doing homework

 

 

Your first thought on the first day of class

 

 

Trying to avoid work

 

 

When your professor assigns a paper, test, and group project all in one week

 

During Finals week

 

If there’s one piece of advice to take away from this, it’s that Michael Scott is all of us
