Fact: Dwight Schrute Is Underrated In These 7 Episodes Of 'The Office'

NBC Universal

Everyone loves "The Office," it is comedy gold. But if I had to choose a favorite character, I would have to pick Dwight Schrute. He is so hilariously unapologetic for being himself that I can't help but love his character.

Here are seven episodes where Dwight is overlooked, but really is the star of the show:

1. "The Alliance."

Season 1, episode 4. Dwight approaches Jim about forming an alliance in preparation for the downsizing of the company. His intentions are charming but his execution... well, you'll have to watch the episode.

2. "Email Surveillance."

Season 2, episode 9. Jim hosts a party at his house, intentionally not inviting Michael Scott, their boss. Dwight question Jim's intentions for not inviting Scott because Dwight is loyal and a good friend to Michael. Jim tells Dwight that it is a surprise party for Michael (it's not) and Dwight goes the rest of the episode thinking this and it's the greatest thing ever.

3. "Dwight's Speech."

Season 2, episode 17. Dwight is terrified to present his speech after winning the "Salesman of the Year." You wouldn't think he doesn't like public speaking, given the eccentricity of his character, but I love that he is (I am right along there with him).

4. "A Benihana Christmas."

Season 3, episode 10. Michael has just been broken up with and Dwight does his best to comfort him. But, Michael would rather have the company of other people. Dwight deserves better!

5. "Women's Appreciation."

Season 3, episode 23. This might be my second favorite Dwight episode. Phyllis gets flashed in the companies parking lot and immediately Dwight takes over and does everything he can to find the culprit.

6. "Launch Party."

Season 4, episode 3. The company's website just started running and Dwight tries to beat its sales. While dealing with roadblocks from Pam and Jim, his heart is so set on winning you can't help but root for him.

7. "Counseling."

Season 7, episode 2. Dwight comes into the office mad about a shop at the mall under looking him because of his appearance. The office plans to "Pretty In Pink" the shop.

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
