I'm sure all of you Dunderheads have had a time in your life when you immediately think of Andy Bernard when you hear "Sweeney Todd," or want to lift a speaker over your head when "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" comes on. Here are 17 songs that you can never listen to the same way again, all because of "The Office."

1. "Stayin' Alive"

Thanks to Michael's first aid training, we all know that "Stayin' Alive," has the perfect beats per minute for CPR.

As long as you start at the chorus and not the beginning of the song...

2."Closing Time"

Thanks to the office, and Stanley, you'll always know that "Closing Time" means it's time to go home.

3. "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)"

Don't we all want to lift a speaker over our head and dance when this song comes on?

4. "We Belong"

Anytime you hear the Pat Benatar classic, all you can think of is Kelly singing karaoke to her crush, Ryan.

5. "Goodbye Stranger"

Or as "The Office," fans know it as "Goodbye Toby." Michael didn't hold back any of his emotions when Toby was leaving for Costa Rica.

6. "Seasons of Love"

Whenever you hear this song you automatically think back to when Michael was leaving Dunder Mifflin and the employees changed the lyrics to the popular song to fit the situation and make us all bawl our eyes out.

7. "We Didn't Start the Fire"

All of us remember when Ryan started a fire by toasting his cheese pita too long, dubbing Ryan "The Fire Guy." Now we can't sing "We Didn't Start the Fire," without adding Ryan's name in there.

8. "Mambo Number Five"

"A little bit of Angela on the thing..."

9. "Just Dance"

You might not sing "Just Dance," any differently, but you'll always think of Michael Scott pulling up in his beloved Sebring while listening to Lady Gaga.

10. "Lazy Scranton"

Dr. Dre and Ice Cube might be straight out of Compton, but Michael Scott and Dwight Schrute are straight out of Scranton.

Once you hear this song, it's stuck in your head for the rest of your life.

11. "Hot Hot Hot"

You'll always want to play the steel drums just like Michael Scott when he returned from his Jamaican vacation with Jan.

12. "Forever"

This song will always remind you of Jim and Pam's wedding when Pam specifically said she didn't want the song "Forever," played, but her officemates danced down the aisle to it anyway.

13. "Sweeney Todd"


Most people may think Johnny Depp or the original Broadway production when they hear "Sweeney Todd" but Dunderheads will always remember Andy's flawless cover of the hit musical.

14. "Nobody But Me "

Remember when the Scranton branch did the best Lip Dub ever?

15. "Physical"

Anytime the Olivia Newton-John classic comes on, you'll think of Holly and Michael teaching the employees all about ethics (while wearing some sick sweatbands).

16. "Shabooya, Roll Call"

Most people probably remember "Shabooya, Roll Call" from "Bring It On" but "The Office" fans will remember it from Kevin's flawless rendition.

"My name is Kevin...that is my name...they call me Kevin...'cause that's my name!"

17. "The Office" Theme Song

This is one is basically a cumulation of all of the memories that Dunder Mifflin's Scranton Branch brought to every single fan of "The Office."

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
