10 Times Dwight Schrute Was The Most Relatable

During finals week, anything goes.

I have been watching way too much of The Office lately. Like, hours and hours. It's a comforting show, especially when you are feeling insanely stressed. And there is one thing I've noticed: Dwight Schrute is insanely relatable. At least, to my coffee-jacked, frazzle-brained self. So, in the spirit of finals, here are 10 times Dwight's quotes have made me think,"Me too, man."

1. “How would I describe myself? Three words: hard working, alpha male, jackhammer, merciless, insatiable.”

As someone who recently had a job interview, I think I speak for everyone when I say I wish I could say this about myself.

2. “The principle is sound. To avoid illness, expose yourself to germs, enabling your immune system to develop antibodies. I don’t know why everyone doesn’t do this… Maybe they have something against living forever.”

If you have ever lived in a college dorm, you know that this may not be true. But it's a comforting thought when your entire floor has the flu and you hope you aren't next.

3. “I am ready to face any challenge that might be foolish enough to face me.”

This is a mantra for finals week, or really any time you just need to get hyped for a difficult day.

4. “Why are all these people here? There are too many people on this earth. We need a new plague.”

The only thought you have when the line for coffee at the library goes out the door.

5. “There are 3 things you never turn your back on; bears, men you have wronged, and a dominant male turkey during mating season.”


As someone whose college campus is rife with male turkeys, this is actually strangely relevant.

6.“Before I do anything I ask myself, ‘Would an idiot do that?’ and if the answer is yes, I do not do that thing.”

On making decisions.

7. "Fortunately my feelings regenerate at twice the speed of a normal man's."

For when your TA leaves a less than stellar comment on your essay, or you scroll too far back on your crush's Instagram feed.

8. "Always the padawan, never the Jedi."

For when you know you're always learning.

9. "You couldn't handle my undivided attention."

The real reason you stay on your phone during lecture is to save your professor from the danger of your complete attention.

10. “D.W.I.G.H.T – Determined, Worker, Intense, Good worker, Hard worker, Terrific.”

For when you need motivation, and come up with a good acronym for your own name.

Now, go forth and conquer!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
