12 Pieces of Advice From Michael Scott

As someone who loves the TV show, The Office, I couldn't help but put together the best pieces of advice from the wise man himself, Michael Scott. Even if you haven't seen The Office, you can learn a thing or two from him.

1.

Whether it’s ice cream or pizza, it's okay to treat yourself to a little pick-me-up when you're feeling down.


2.

Breathtaking, isn’t it? Who knew Michael Scott had such a way with words. What he means is, try not to hurt people.


3.

In other words, when you’re trying to prove how much you care, do it with love so it’s believable. After all, nothing gets past Michael Scott.

4.

This is one of his more intelligent pieces of advice. What I think he’s trying to say is this; it can take a long time to find someone who is right for you, but eventually when the right person comes along, it’ll all be worth it.


5.

We have all said something that we immediately regretted, and unfortunately you can’t take those words back. But you can learn from it, and be more mindful of what you say. Great advice, Mr. Scott.


6.

Here’s what I think he’s trying to say: make presents meaningful. It’s not always about how much money you spend that makes a present special.


7.

Now don't let this scare you; he just means it’s always nice to have someone who loves you, even if it scares them.


8.

Who doesn’t love a good baseball metaphor? Michael’s counting skills may not be top-notch, but the message behind this is a home run; don’t let others take advantage of you.


9.

Sometimes we stutter and fumble on our words when we’re trying to get something off our chest. But have no fear, you’ll find your way.


10.

Dream big. Don’t settle for the small stuff. Nobody likes the small stuff. (“That’s what she said.” –Michael Scott)


11.

It doesn’t take a salesperson to understand this wise piece of advice; not everything in life has to happen in order.

12.

There are times in our lives when we get stuck and don’t know the way out. Don’t be afraid to admit you’re stuck. If Michael Scott can do it, so can you.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Your mom: you can't live with her, but you can't live without her. You love your mom, but she is insanely predictable. Here is a list of things your mom has probably done.

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
