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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
