Start writing a post

Actress Mindy Kaling continues to please audiences after The Office.Mindy Kaling helps to produce, direct and write her newest show.

Mindy Kaling is an actress, writer and producer who got her big break playing Kelly Kapoor on the NBC sitcom The Office. She has moved on to create and star in the Fox sitcom, The Mindy Project, where she also is a co-executive producer, director and writer of several of the show’s episodes.

The Mindy Project is an American romantic comedy television series that has been on the air since September 2012. It’s currently in its second season and, luckily, just got picked up for a third. It is broadcast in the U.S. as well as in Israel, Canada, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and Ireland.  The plot follows obstetrician/gynecologist Mindy Lahiri (Mindy Kaling) and her hilarious gaggle of co-workers in their private practice as she tries to balance her personal and professional life.

The show has received a wave of positive reviews from critics and has earned a diverse and passionate fan base. Viewers love the banter, comedy and attitude of the show but, mostly, they love Mindy. She’s not your typical size zero, blonde bimbo of a starlet-turned-actress. Instead, she’s relatable. She loves rom-coms, food and Beyoncé, and who doesn’t? Here are thirteen of Mindy’s most relatable quotes:

1. “A best friend isn’t a person, Danny. It’s a tier.”

2. “No girl has ever been like; 'I wish you had a flatter stomach.' They were like; 'I wish you made more money.'”

3. “A woman’s prison, you guys? Come on, if I wanted to get shanked, I’d just shave my legs drunk again.”

4. “Your secret is safe with me. Largely because I don’t care and I’ll probably forget.”

5. “Kim Kardashian started out with a sex tape, but she did not let it define her. So I just need to ride out this minor humiliation until I find my Kanye.”

6. “Are you in charge of being an asshole? Cause you’re doing a great job.”

7. “I have a right to life, liberty and chicken wings.”

8. “If we’re still single in five years and we haven’t found anybody, can we make a pact? That we kill each other.”

9. “Okay, if we are indulging imaginary situations I would love to introduce you to my husband – straight Anderson Cooper.”

10. “I can do anything as long as it’s just paying for something.”

11. “I’m not overweight. I fluctuate between chubby and curvy.”

12. “It is so weird being my own role model.”

13. “I figure if I’m gonna be a mess, I might as well be a hot mess.”

Another enchanting aspect of Mindy is her wardrobe. Being an ob/gyn must be a high-paying job, because she spends it well. Never seen in the same outfit twice, Mindy is always decked out in bright emeralds and canary yellows, flashy prints and sparkling gems. She layers, she wraps, she coordinates and pairs. Every outfit could be featured in a fashion magazine – and should. There are several blogs dedicated just to Mindy’s costumes on the show.

If you’ve never heard of The Mindy Project, alter your evening plans so you can start watching it, now. You weren’t going to start your homework until midnight, anyway. Everyone needs a some laughs, a little fashion inspo and a lot of Mindy.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
