Buzzfeed quizzes: they are the conquerors of boredom. With nothing else to do and a friend asking me what my results were, I took the “Which Character From ‘The Office’ Are You?” quiz. I excitedly awaited my results after I answered the last question and… I got Michael Scott. I won’t lie I was a little disappointed, but he has some relatable traits. Some of those traits I see in others too: in fact, like everyone. Below are my findings.


1. Thinking about the future compared to your current situation…


“Yes. Money has been a little bit tight lately, but at the end of my life, when I'm sitting on my yacht, am I gonna be thinking about how much money I have? No. I'm gonna be thinking about how many friends I have and my children and my comedy albums.”


2. Visiting parents when you have no food…


“I was never in this for the money. But it turns out that the money was an absolute necessity for me.”


3. Watching scary movies or hearing ghost stories…


“I'm not superstitious, but I am a little stitious.”

4. When you try to make friends…


“Do I need to be liked? Absolutely not. I like to be liked. I enjoy being liked. I have to be liked, but it's not like this compulsive need to be liked, like my need to be praised.”


5. When you’re trying to get out of something…


Michael Scott: “Wish I could, but I can't. Well, can, but won't. Should, maybe, but shorn't.”

Kevin Malone: “Michael, please...”

Michael Scott: “What part of ‘shorn't’ don't you understand, Kevin?”


6. When you see your crush…


Michael Scott: “...for Holly. And I'm looking for perfect songs that work on two levels.”

Jim Halpert: “What are the two levels?”

Michael Scott: “The two levels being, ‘Welcome to Scranton’ and ‘I love you.’”


7. Any time someone doubts you…


“Yeah, well, maybe next time you will estimate me.”


8. How you justify procrastination…


“I can spend all day on a project, and he will finish the same project in half an hour. So that should tell you something.”

9. When something goes wrong and you frantically try to fix it…


“And I knew exactly what to do. But in a much more real sense, I had no idea what to do.”


10. #RelationshipGoals…


“Would I rather be feared or loved? Easy. Both. I want people to be afraid of how much they love me.”

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. 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.
