6 Lessons Jim And Pam Taught Us About Love

If you haven't watched the Office, you're really missing out. Currently, I'm re-watching the season, and the pranks, jokes, and lessons never get old. Although you can learn a lot from Michael and Dwight, specifically on how to comically manage an office and how to own a beet farm, Jim and Pam have taught their viewers a lot as well. They have become an iconic couple in the show, and their love is one for the books. Here are just a few things they've taught us about love:

1. Be with someone who never fails to make you laugh and reminds you to laugh at yourself once in a while.

Living in today's society, it's important to smile. Being with a partner who never fails to make you laugh is crucial and is something to hold on to.

2. At the base of any relationship, there is friendship.

Loyalty, trust, respect, and support are all key factors in a successful friendship and thus a relationship. Having your best friend as your partner is one of the most rewarding things. Not only because they've seen you at your worst and best, but also because they truly want to be by your side as you grow, succeed, and try to figure out your life.

3. Sometimes, timing is off.

In the beginning seasons, Pam and Jim clearly cared for each other, but the timing was always off; Pam was engaged, Jim moved to Stamford, and both pursued other relationships. Sometimes, the universe has other plans than you thought.

4. But patience can really pay off.

Jim waited years before finally being with Pam, and it certainly paid off. If it's meant to be, it'll find a way.

5. Love isn't always easy.

Differences, arguments, and so many other obstacles are just waiting to test a relationship. It isn't always easy, but when you love someone, you give it your all no matter what.

6. But it's worth it. Never give up.

When the going gets tough, it's important to know that the situation is temporary, and in the long run, it'll be worth it. At the end of the day, Jim and Pam overcame any obstacle thrown at them through love, compromise, and commitment to each other. Even if it looks like it's the end of the road, as Michael Scott said to Jim on the Booze Cruise, "Never, ever, ever give up."

Thanks, Jim and Pam, for giving us hope in love!

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
