Whether you’re like me and have watched The Office 10 times through, or you’ve never seen it at all, there are lessons within the series that can be appreciated by anyone. From the painful seasons showcasing Pam’s and Roy’s relationship, all the way to seeing Jim and Pam end up exactly where they belong, The Office carried us through a hilarious whirlwind of emotions. In almost every episode there is a lesson to learn, here are just a few.
1. Never give up on someone or something you love.
The first kiss (insert heart-eyes emoji here).
2. Sometime’s life kicks you around, but if you start appreciating the little things, it gets easier.
3. Don’t do drugs, kids.
Need I say more?
4. Be yourself without regrets.
Do what you want, say what you want, and most importantly, eat what you want.
5. There are some things you should just keep to yourself.
Nothing's worse than saying something and immediately regretting it.
6. Prison is not better than working in an office.
I couldn't help but sneak Prison Mike into this list...
7. Sometimes a little humor is all you need.
8. Never eat a plate full of Fettuccine Alfredo right before a 5k.
Noted.
9. Appreciate the now.
10. Don’t sweat the small stuff.
11. Be confident and love yourself.
12. And most importantly, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take - Wayne Gretzky” - Michael Scott.
Oh The Office, you never fail to make me cry from all sorts of different emotions, I love you more than Jan loves herself.
