Fridays At The Office According To 'The Office'

The best day of the week -- better than Pretzel Day?

Fridays At The Office According To 'The Office'

You made it. After a grueling five days of staring at your computer screen, spinning in circles on your chair for sheer entertainment and counting down each and every minute before you and your co-workers take lunch, you've made it. Thank you sweet baby Jesus. Close that laptop, push in your chair (ha, or don't) and peace the heck out of the office -- it's Friday. Please enjoy my depiction of Fridays at the office according to the greatest television series ever created.

You roll up to work in an above average mood than usual! It is Friday: the day of the week where dreams come true. You make fake small talk with your less than pleasant co-workers and pretend you don't despise them.


The feeling only lasts so long and before your very eyes, mounds of work are plopped on you desk! You are massively distressed by what your work day will consist of.


You get back to your desk after a long lunch filled with mindless chatter regarding weekend plans and how badly you want to go home. Yes, we get it, we all want to start our weekends! You open back up whatever you were working on before lunch, but you know you'll be useless post-lunch.


You get an animated email about some super fun company function occurring this weekend. BBQ and corn hole with people I see 40+ hours a week?! How about no.


You see the office suck-up knock on your boss's door to wish them a wonderful weekend! Ugh, gag.


But, you don't care because it's finally 5 p.m. and you're half way out the door before anyone can say "See you Monday!"


Congrats on another week down, friends! Spend your two days off wisely because Monday will come around before you know it. Oh, and always remember the light at the end of the tunnel (Friday, I am referring to Friday).

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
