11 Reasons "The Office" Is Still The Best TV Show
Dina Gachman

" The Office" is unlike any other show on television. The pretend documentary only got funnier over time, growing into a timeless comedy that made viewers sad to see it go. However, this series is still the best TV show. This nine-year series will always have a special place in my heart, and this is why.

1. It’s quotable at any stage of life.

Those little moments that remind you of a scene from "The Office" never stop, and they never cease to make you laugh. You can always find a relatable or funny quote from the show.

2. Its characterization is perfection.

Each character is individually unique and comedic in his or her own way. There’s at least one episode that focuses on each character at one point in time.

3. It has style.

The show has a unique realistic style, as it takes the form of a documentary filming ordinary workers in an office building. The characters really play up to the style and increases the comedic effects.

4. Michael.

That’s about it. Michael. He’s a boss that makes absolutely no sense realistically, yet is so endearing and relatable at many points throughout the show. Just his character and personality alone can always make you laugh. From his embarrassing statements that he doesn’t think through, to his overdramatic character, he will always be a lovable character.

5. It never gets old.

The show is always full of surprises and will always be enjoyable to watch. The characters are never bland.

6. It’s the perfect show to watch after a bad day.

When you just need a good laugh or amusing show, "The Office" is the perfect show to watch. It will inevitably make you feel better.

7. Dwight.

Dwight alone represents the maximum craziness a character could hold. His strange antics are new to each episode. Not to mention he’s Michael’s right-hand man.

8. It’s not forcibly funny.

There’s no audience in the background fake laughing at the scene in front of them or forced jokes. It’s all subtle or natural, and the characters themselves are the humor.

9. The Jim and Dwight rivalry.

Every viewer’s favorite thing is when an episode opens up with another one of Jim’s pranks on Dwight.

10. Jim and Pam are pretty much goals.

They simply are the perfect example of two best friends trying to have fun at work and in life.

11. The story line.

The story line isn’t on a road to nowhere. There are conflicts, happy moments, funny moments, sad moments, outrageous moments, and totally relatable moments. There’s an ending to it all, and it makes the whole show worth it.

If you want a quality show that includes a spectrum of elements, like a German beet farmer, a relationship dying to get out of the friend-zone, an oblivious boss, and a small paper company in Scranton, Pennsylvania, then "The Office" is for you. You'll soon see why it is still so worthy of being called the best show ever.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
