Actress Mindy Kaling continues to please audiences after The Office.Mindy Kaling helps to produce, direct and write her newest show.

Mindy Kaling is an actress, writer and producer who got her big break playing Kelly Kapoor on the NBC sitcom The Office. She has moved on to create and star in the Fox sitcom, The Mindy Project, where she also is a co-executive producer, director and writer of several of the show’s episodes.

The Mindy Project is an American romantic comedy television series that has been on the air since September 2012. It’s currently in its second season and, luckily, just got picked up for a third. It is broadcast in the U.S. as well as in Israel, Canada, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and Ireland.  The plot follows obstetrician/gynecologist Mindy Lahiri (Mindy Kaling) and her hilarious gaggle of co-workers in their private practice as she tries to balance her personal and professional life.

The show has received a wave of positive reviews from critics and has earned a diverse and passionate fan base. Viewers love the banter, comedy and attitude of the show but, mostly, they love Mindy. She’s not your typical size zero, blonde bimbo of a starlet-turned-actress. Instead, she’s relatable. She loves rom-coms, food and Beyoncé, and who doesn’t? Here are thirteen of Mindy’s most relatable quotes:

1. “A best friend isn’t a person, Danny. It’s a tier.”

2. “No girl has ever been like; 'I wish you had a flatter stomach.' They were like; 'I wish you made more money.'”

3. “A woman’s prison, you guys? Come on, if I wanted to get shanked, I’d just shave my legs drunk again.”

4. “Your secret is safe with me. Largely because I don’t care and I’ll probably forget.”

5. “Kim Kardashian started out with a sex tape, but she did not let it define her. So I just need to ride out this minor humiliation until I find my Kanye.”

6. “Are you in charge of being an asshole? Cause you’re doing a great job.”

7. “I have a right to life, liberty and chicken wings.”

8. “If we’re still single in five years and we haven’t found anybody, can we make a pact? That we kill each other.”

9. “Okay, if we are indulging imaginary situations I would love to introduce you to my husband – straight Anderson Cooper.”

10. “I can do anything as long as it’s just paying for something.”

11. “I’m not overweight. I fluctuate between chubby and curvy.”

12. “It is so weird being my own role model.”

13. “I figure if I’m gonna be a mess, I might as well be a hot mess.”

Another enchanting aspect of Mindy is her wardrobe. Being an ob/gyn must be a high-paying job, because she spends it well. Never seen in the same outfit twice, Mindy is always decked out in bright emeralds and canary yellows, flashy prints and sparkling gems. She layers, she wraps, she coordinates and pairs. Every outfit could be featured in a fashion magazine – and should. There are several blogs dedicated just to Mindy’s costumes on the show.

If you’ve never heard of The Mindy Project, alter your evening plans so you can start watching it, now. You weren’t going to start your homework until midnight, anyway. Everyone needs a some laughs, a little fashion inspo and a lot of Mindy.

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.

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.
