6 Times 'The Office' Made Me Shed a Tear

For once, not just because of laughter.

If you are reading this and have never experienced an episode of "The Office," I extremely encourage you to step away from this computer and watch one.

I started "The Office" only a few months ago very harmlessly, not thinking I would grow overly obsessed with it. Starting with Jim and Pam's relationship, Dwight's insane antics, Andy's singing and of course, anything that Michael Scott does. I have grown a different kind of love for the show and there were so many moments for me where I just smiled in contentment. Yes, "The Office" is a very witty and comical show, but what made me love it more were the sentimental moments that you weren't expecting.

So, I wanted to share the moments that led me to have a different kind of love for the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company.

First, of course, the "Forever" dance performance at Jim and Pam's wedding

The whole office came together and performed a dance down the aisle to "Forever" by Chris Brown because Michael Scott saw it on YouTube. It might have been stupid, but definitely was one of the sweetest things they could have done for the happy couple.

When Andy gave Erin her Secret Santa gift

Andy was picked as Erin's secret Santa and he went all out for it by giving her the "12 Days of Christmas" starting with an actual partridge in a pear tree. The last day was the best part when Andy came out with 12 drummers marching and played the cymbals on the side. Erin's reaction was just priceless.

When Erin met her parents


Erin's character was an orphan for most of her life and switched from different foster homes for years.

In the "Finale" of the show, the cast had to attend an interview session with fans of the documentary they starred in. Towards the end of it, a woman goes to a microphone and says she has a question for Erin. She then confesses that she is Erin's mother. Shortly after, her father shows up. That was a touchy moment and I will admit, I shed a tear.

The video Jim made for Pam

Jim Halpert is probably the man any girl would be lucky to be married to, so like anyone else, I was very jealous of Pam. And Jim did a lot of nice and thoughtful things for Pam, but this one had to be the kindest.

Pam felt that she was not enough for Jim, and Jim could not make her feel better using his words, so he made her a video from the documentation the cast crew videoed for the last nine seasons. It was a build-up of just about every sweet moment they had together.

Actual goals. Gentlemen, take notes.

Darryl's Farewell Dance Party

When Darryl left Dunder Mifflin to work at Athlead, he got caught by the other workers trying to sneak out of the office without saying goodbye, but they definitely were not going to let him off the hook. So, Darryl agreed to let them all come up with one thing they wanted to do with him before he leaves for good. And of course, they choose to have a dance party. I think for this one I cried from tears of laughter.

Finally, best prank ever.

I think this is a no brainier. We all know the main part of what makes the show hilarious are Jim's pranks on Dwight. But, this one was a little different.

On the last episode the show aired, Dwight and Angela got married. Dwight asked Jim to be his best man but, Jim mentions to Dwight that as tradition, the best man must be older than the groom. Jim looks behind Dwight and Michael Scott is standing there to be Dwight's best man.

"You actually came." "That's what she said." - Best prank ever

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
