Bra Shopping as Told Through 'The Office'

I thought I would bring something I hate, bra shopping, together with something I love, "The Office."

If there's one thing that most bra-wearing people can agree on, it's that shopping for bras is the worst thing. From getting fitted to trying them on to actually purchasing them, the process is a whirlwind of emotions, and it's kind of exhausting.

Recently, I've been re-watching several seasons of the hit TV show, "The Office". Since I have also gone shopping to spend some of that Christmas money I've received, I thought I would bring something I hate, bra shopping, together with something I love, "The Office." Here are the stages of bra shopping as told through "The Office".

1. Realizing you need to buy a new bra.

There is no worse feeling than realizing your favorite bra is on its last leg, or in this case, strap. You know that purchasing a new one is imminent, and that means you will have to start the entire bra shopping process, again.

2. Walking into the store and seeing the shelves and shelves of bras.

Why are there so many? Are there even breasts that fill out that 36 F? Why do only the small ones come in cute colors and patterns? What size am I again?

3. Getting measured by a stranger.

"It's just like I'm your doctor, it's no big deal." Nope. Don't like that. Also please warm your hands, just a little bit.

4. Trying on a bra that you don't think will fit.

This looks way too small. There's no way I can clasp this. Why do they make bras with three hooks? JUST FIT MY BODY.

5. Trying on one that actually does fit.

There's no way this will....Wait a second. Did I just clasp this all the way? Does it actually look good? I don't have quadboob? THIS IS A MIRACLE!

6. Trying on your fourth or fifth bra.

Why did I come here? How long have I been here? Is my back sweating? Make it stop.

7. When you decide to buy that one sexy push-up bra.

No Mom, I didn't buy it for anyone but me. I don't know where I'm gonna wear it, Mom. I just wanted it for myself. Okay?

8. Finally looking at the price tag.

Look, I have to wear this chest cage every day, why are you making it so expensive for me to purchase this chest cage? It's pretty, and I want it, but I don't want to drop $50 on a bra.

9. Finally leaving the store.

I am sweating. My back hurts. I have been in and out of fitting rooms. Let me out of here.

10. Coming home with your new bras.

HECK YEAH I'M GONNA BE LOOKIN FLY WITH THESE NEW BRAS.

Bra shopping is no easy task. But when you think of it like an episode of "The Office", maybe it's not so bad. Stay safe out there, those underwires can be dangerous.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
