Watching Tennis Grand Slams As Told By "The Office"
ABC News

Since the US Open is in full swing, and I've been glued to the screen, I thought about the number of times a year that tennis is on. That number is a solid four. There are only four times tennis really matters to "fans" and viewers, and those times are the four grand slams. Whether you enjoy watching players race across hard, clay, or grass courts, you always wish it was on more often. Who doesn't want to see the amazing outfits, Serena's power, and weird fans/situations on the court?

So, here is The Office explaining my emotions and feels during Grand Slam matches.

1. When the first day of a tournament is on TV.

THANK YOU SO MUCH ESPN, TENNIS CHANNEL, AND NBC FOR THIS GLORIOUS DAY!

2. When you lose that excitement and remember it's only the first round.

I mean I'm so happy tennis is back on but these blowout matches are just not enjoyable. This doesn't apply to upsets though, as long as my girls Radwanska and Bouchard stay in the mix.

3. When a tennis player you love pulls out due to injury.

Worst feeling in the entire world. Period. I'm looking at you Eugenie Bouchard.

4. When you have to root someone else on now.

I mean I guess I can like Victoria Azarenka or Caroline Wozniacki just for the next week. I don't think I could handle them longer than that, sorry ladies.

5. When you look at the Mens' quarterfinals list and there are zero Americans.

Honestly I should stop getting my hopes up with this one. An American hasn't even won a Grand Slam since 2003 when Andy Roddick won the US Open. Such a shame.


6. When Serena/favorite/underdog raises the trophy.

The final points of the match and the trophy presentation always choke me up. Nothing but respect to these players... and oh no, here come the tears as they congratulate each other on a great match.

7. When you realize the next Grand Slam is *at least* over a month away.

The stretch from the US Open to the Australian Open is so rough. Get prepared for those "major" withdrawals everyone.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
