17 Reasons We're Still Not Over the Office

hat Netflix binges have come and gone. We've laughed and cried and learned to love the characters of more series than you care to count. And while there are many shows that we truly love, none of them really compare to the brilliance of The Office. We find ourselves revisiting it every now and again, reliving the hijinks and the heartbreak and the hilarity every time as if it was the first. We're still not over The Office. And here's why.

1. The Office taught us lessons that school simply never could. Like how to declare bankruptcy, for example.


2. It showed us what true love looked like.


3. ...In all its forms.


4. It helped us stay up to date with pop culture.


5. It always reminded us to know our own worth.


6. It taught us that our schooling doesn't define our legacy.


7. And it reminded us of the most important things in life.


8. The Office just seemed to understand us in a way no other show has.


9. It motivated us to achieve our fitness goals.


10. It presented to us with our life mantra in any kind of tense situation.


11. It reminded us that sometimes, we just need to dance.


12. It taught us to focus on our talents.


13. It taught us that anyone can be a poet.


14. And it kept us up to date on the coolest, hippest jargon.


15. It perfectly summed up the millennial dating experience.


16. It exposed us to the most classic prank of all time.


17. Most of all, it showed us that there's a lot of beauty in ordinary things, and that's kind of the point.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
