5 Things The Office Shown Me

It's not a phase mom, it's who I am.

If you are like me, you may find yourself indulging on sweet, sweet American sitcoms. It's a guilty pleasure of mine, sue me. However I am one of those annoying TV watchers who don't intend on it but wind up dissecting shows and the messages some may not be so quick to catch. Here are my top five things The Office has shown me in my everyday life.


1. When life throws lemons, make the best out of it.

It is evident that life will throw curve balls at you and challenge your reaction. You can't change the outcome of the situation but you are the ultimate fate maker on how the outcome effects you. Throughout the entirety of the office, Michael Scott proves that whatever happens to him he will come back 100 times better than before and I think that speaks volumes in life, if something knocks you down, get back up and try again!

2. Don't sell yourself short.

Sometimes in life we are all faced with the uncertainty of others. There will be times when people test your limits and then there will be people who try and out do you and who think they are better than you, and that's okay. You are the best version of your own self and nobody can take that away from you. Know your worth and know your potential. The hidden message I feel within the office is that everybody is working as an underdog and are proving the doubters wrong along the way.

3. Always speak whats on your mind, even if its cringey

Anyone who has seen the office knows exactly what I'm talking about. The office has taught me to speak whats on your mind 100% of the time. You are given this one life to live and why should anyone hold back on what they feel? If you can't be honest with others, you aren't being honest with yourself.


4. Live life like nobody's watching!

YOLO, right? ABSOLUTELY. There's only 86,400 seconds in a day, why spend it miserable? Get out a fan and have yourself some fun! But seriously, anything can happen and life is short, I hope you have the courage to live the life you want to live.


5. Dreams do come true.

Need I say more?

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
