Amidst the fear the crumbling economy has heaped upon us and the shame brought about by this oh-so-shameful presidential election, there is one shining light. This one shining light has gotten us through the hard summer, a long week and a difficult day. This one shining light is: The Office.
 

Our favorite bumbling boss and his reluctant employees are here to bring joy back into our lives every Thursday night at 9 p.m eastern standard time.
 

Not only does The Office offer endless (read: a half hour, sometimes an hour) entertainment, but it also teaches us something. While the workplace antics are usually idiotic, Michael and the gang know a thing or two about education.
 

So without further ado, here are the Top 15 Office Quotes About College:

1. Michael: Ryan's about to attend the Michael Scott School of Business. I'm like Mr. Miyagi and Yoda rolled into one.
 

2. Dwight: Yeah, but look, I mean, he didn't need business school. Okay, Michael comes from the school of hard knocks.
Michael: Okay, Dwight.
Dwight: Self taught. You didn't even go to college.
Michael: You know what, Dwight? You don't need to help me here. Okay?
 

3. Michael: Okay, here's what we're going to do: I'm going to instruct the kids about management and sales. Oscar will be in charge of accounting. Pam will be eye candy. No... uh, also, because that is your alma mater. Darryl will hire some kids for the warehouse. We don't have to worry about internships with them, because they definitely ain't going to college.
Darryl: What college did you go to Mike?
Michael: Let's go!

4. Kevin: My tire blew out on the way here, Michael.
Michael: Huh?
Kevin: I almost died. I... I went into this skid---
Michael: Pop quiz.
Kevin: ...What?
Michael: Why is today a special day?
Kevin: I almost died.
Michael: Today's a special day, because I am being honored as a... visiting... professor, special lecturer, emeritus... how did you, how did you...
Ryan: You will be a guest speaker... in my Emerging Enterprises class.
Michael: In business school, Kevin. Business school.

5. Michael: Here we go. College Roadshow. Gotta bring our... A game. What was the most inspiring thing I've ever said to you?
Dwight: "Don't be an idiot." Changed my life.

6. Michael: Campus. Brings back so many memories. ... That I would have made. Hey. Frisbee. Check that out. Aww! What do you say we get our Fris on before class? [runs over, throws frisbee] Whoo!
College Student: ....Dude.
 

7. Dwight: It is time for your next test. You have planted the beet seed. You have walked the long lonely walk of loneliness.
Ryan: Look man, I was in a frat in college. So I know what you're doing. I get it.
 

8. Michael: I did not go to business school. You know who else didn't go to business school? LeBron James, Tracy McGrady, Kobe Bryant. They went right from high school to the NBA. So... so it's not the same thing. At all.
 

9. Ryan: It's whomever.
Michael: No. Whomever is actually never right.
Jim: Well, sometimes it's right.
Creed: Michael is right. It's a made-up word used to trick students.

10. Andy: Big Tuna is a super ambitious guy, you know? Cut-your-throat-to-get-ahead type of guy. But, I mean, I'm not threatened by him. I went to Cornell. Ever heard of it? I graduated in four years, I never studied once, I was drunk the whole time, and I sang in the a capella group, 'Here Comes Treble'.

11. Jim: Stanley. I just played Dunderball with Toby. How about you? You got any games?

Stanley: Yeah I got a game. It’s called “work hard so your children can go to college”.

12. Michael: Andy Bernard. Pros: he's classy. He gets me. He went to Cornell. I trust him. Cons: I don't really trust him.

13. Michael: You know what? Don't mind me saying so, she has turned into a stone cold fox. Better keep the frat boys away from her.
Melissa: I'm in eighth grade.

14. Dwight: Everyone. Ok, I have an announcement. Apparently in business school they don’t teach you how to operate a toaster oven. Because some smart, sexy temp left his cheese pita on “oven” instead of timing it for the toaster thing. [holds up burnt pita and laughs maniacally]

15. Michael: When I was Ryan’s age, I worked in a fast food restaurant to save up money for school. And then I lost it in a pyramid scheme, but I learned more about business right then and there, than business school would ever teach me – or Ryan would ever teach me.
