Jim Halpert, Dwight Schrute, Pam Beesly and Michael Scott.

To be on the internet and to not have heard these names or seen their images would be almost impossible. These characters from “The Office” have solidified their place in the popular culture lexicon since the show rose to popularity in 2007. “The Office”’s take on the minutia of middle management and office life is relatable to a tee. Jim and Dwight are relatable, sure, but no one encompasses the seemingly infinite monotony of a dead end job like Stanley Hudson.

Stanley Hudson is technically a minor character in the show but after binge-watching the series (again) is one of the most relatable and overlooked. Stanley represents a reality that many black people face in the corporate sphere.

Stanley is the only black person in his office.

To have to face Michael Scott’s microaggressions alone? I don’t know if I could do it. The racial insensitivity that Stanley faces are a part of his daily life and are one of the reasons why his character resonates with audiences.

Here are seven times that Stanley is all of us:

1. When he didn't want to do something and he meant it


2. When he was asked to do something ON HIS BREAK


3. His attitude at 5:01 PM

4. His only inspiration to go to work

5. That time someone thought they could try him


On Pretzel Day?!!

6. When he has to deal with Michael's white nonsense

7. When it doesn't stop

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.

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.
