The Odyssey

For six and a half seasons Michael Gary Scott graced us, or scarred us, which ever way you look at it, with his quirks and misguided intentions. From the booze cruise to the moment we met one of our favorite alter egos “Date Mike”. He always meant well but his enormous heart and lack of social skills often got the best of him. Remember when he invited both Carol and Jan to casino night? As hard as that was to watch you have to admit Michael didn’t mean any harm by it. And then there was that horribly awkward moment where he spoke to Kelly using a horribly racist fake Indian accent, resulting in getting a slap in the face from Kelly. Maybe he didn’t have the best intentions there, but I honestly think he didn’t know how horrible what he was doing was. Even still, we watched week after week just to see what crazy thing Michael was going to do or say next.

1. The booze cruise.

Remember how hard that was to watch? Michael just wanted to be the captain but Rob doesn't was just not having it. And then, of course, we got to see his amazing dance moves. I don't think I've ever seen anyone "dance while no ones watching" while at the same time wanting everyone to watch.

2. When he proposed to Carol at Kelly's party.


The first red flag was when he and Carol walked into the party and she was dressed up like a cheerleader because Michael told her it was a "costume party". Throughout the night he was dazzled by the music, dancing, and love that Kelly's parents shared even though they didn't know each other well before the wedding. Even though they didn't have s'more's like he thought, he saved his own night by proposing to Carol in front of everyone at the party.

3. Phyllis's wedding.

This might be one of his worst moments ever. And of course by worst, I mean it was one of the best ones to watch. From announcing Phyllis and Bob as husband and wife to early to the entire church to, my personal favorite moment, when he revealed to all the guests that Phyllis's nickname in high school was "easy rider". This is definitely a contender for one of his most cringy moments ever

4. Watching Jan listen to his voicemail break up.

This ones pretty much all in the title. The look on Michael's face as he had to sit there and watch Jan listen to the voicemail he left in which he told her they needed "a little break...permanently", doesn't get much worse than that.

5. Jim and Pam's rehearsal dinner.

I think we all remember this one. Michael's night-ruining rehearsal dinner speech about the differences in relationships between todays couples and couples back in the fifties was doesn't definitely one for the books. Poor Mee-Maw....

6. When he broke up with Pam's mom.

Not only was this a rough one for Michael, but imagine being Pam, first having to deal with Michael Gary Scott dating your mother, but then having to watch him break up with her on her birthday. Yikes.

7. Scott's tots.

Need I go into detail? For those of you who don't know, Michael had to tell a large group of high school seniors that he was not going to pay for their college, as he had promised to way back when they were all in the third grade.

8. When he introduced us to "Date Mike".

"Hi, I'm date Mike, nice to meet me". That line alone makes me shudder.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

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.

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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. 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?
