Life Advice From Dwight Schrute

Dwight Schrute is unlike any other. As a salesman, beet farmer, hotel owner, businessman, and Assistant (to the) Regional Manager, he has lots of wisdom to share. In an effort to make everyone's lives more Dwight-like, I've taken the liberty to pick 10 of Dwight's greatest pieces of life advice, and I urge every one of you to put Dwight's life hacks to practice.



1. Don't be afraid to take risks.


The classic tap-and-walk-the-other-way? Risky. Giving a key to your home? Riskier. If Dwight isn't afraid to take these risks, you shouldn't be either.


2. Do your research.

Staying ahead of the game may turn up with a sizable reward if executed properly.


3. Don't preoccupy yourself with others' opinions of you.

Stay confident in your abilities, and never let others' judgments stand in your way of success.


4. Fight for what you believe in.


Dwight is nothing if not passionate about the things he believes in, whether that be the company he is employed by or the girl he's got his eye on. (Disclaimer: Please avoid arson and other criminal activities when channeling your inner Schrute.)


5. Don't show your hand too soon.

Keep your peers on their toes -- they should always be wondering what you're really thinking/plotting.


6. But it's okay to pick one or two of those peers to befriend.



7. It's okay to embrace your fun side every once in a while.



Even Dwight lets loose occasionally! Don't be afraid to prove to your haters that you can be a prankster, too.


8. Don't be an idiot.

Honestly, we could all take this advice to heart.


9. Pop culture is nothing to concern yourself over.

We can never keep up with all the Hollywood relationships anyway. Sorry, Biebs.


10. Preparation is key to safety.


Your coworkers will thank you later.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
