27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us
http://www.ssninsider.com/

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

1. The good old days are always happening now, so live in the moment.


2. “Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica” are the three most important topics one can talk about.


3. The Dundies are cooler than the Oscars.

4. Everybody has a Toby, and they are just someone you have to learn to deal with.

5. Group pictures are hard to take (especially jumping pics).

6. It's never too early to eat ice cream.

7. Schrute’s are always prepared for anything.

Except pop culture references...

8. Holidays are important and a very good reason to host any kind of party.

9. There will always be cynical co-workers to deal with.

10. Putting things in Jell-O is a great use of your time.

11. Sometimes funny voices and personas make awkward situations easier (just ask Prison Mike).

12. That places you may not always love can bring you the people you love.

13. Determination is an important characteristic to possess.

14. Sarcasm is essential in everyday life.

15. Love can be really weird.

16. At Halloween time, it is trivial to come with your best costume ready.

17. Friendship is long lasting no matter where the future takes you.

18. Pranks are funny no matter the age.


19. Goodbyes are hard, but reunions are worth it.

20. Blogs are confusing.

21. "That's what she said" jokes will never get old.

22. Jim Halpert can say so much with just a look at the camera.

23. Bros should always come before hoes because...

24. Declaring bankruptcy isn't as hard as we all thought.

25. Office places can be weird and stressful at times.

26. Michael Scott loves Dunder Mifflin and the Scranton Office more than anything.

27. "The Office" truly does have a lot that it can teach us.

Whether you binged watched on Netflix, or on real TV, "The Office" probably has a special place in your heart and has taught you a lot in the time you have watched it.

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.
