1. Roger the Alien (American Dad)
Roger the Alien is seriously one of the best characters in any television show. The writing for him and all his personas cannot be compared to any other character in the show. His storylines are always comical and never in a cringe-worthy way, like Michael Scott.
2. Jake (Adventure Time)
Adventure Time is one of the coolest television shows on Cartoon Network. It has so many underlying adult themes that go over the heads of the children that watch, and it also has a series of progressive ideas that everyone should get behind.
3. Leslie Knope (Parks and Recreation)
Leslie Knope is the TV show character that you want to be friends with. She's sassy, passionate, and loves waffles, so there's really nothing else you could ask from the main character. Actually, Parks and Recreation might show up more than once on this list.
4. Coach (Cheers)
While it's an older show, Cheers has some of the greatest characters in sitcom history. Coach's dimness and comedic writing make his character so lovable and charming. He did only last a few seasons, due to the actor's death, Coach's plotlines and mannerisms live on throughout the show.
5. Rachel (Friends)
Friends is one of the most iconic shows on the internet, especially now that Netflix paid MILLIONS of dollars to keep it on their site. Rachel is probably my favorite role on the show because she goes through so much development as a character. Also, who doesn't love the comedic side of Jennifer Aniston?
6. Danny Tanner (Full House)
Danny Tanner is the strong male lead that we all know and love. After looking past the cheesy writing and low-definition 90's video cameras, you can fall in love with the Tanner family in Full House. Danny was the "Nick at Night" parent that we all wanted, even though some of us already had parents just like him.
7. Ted Mosby (How I Met Your Mother)
While Ted Mosby is probably my least favorite character on How I Met Your Mother, I do still think he is a better role than Michael Scott. Ted has this dry humor that can be really funny and charming at times but can also fall flat and he can lose the humorousness of the character. If any one of these characters was the closest to Michael Scott, it's Ted Mosby.
8. Squidward (Spongebob Squarepants)
You really thought I was going to make this list and NOT put a SpongeBob character? In the entire show that is the Nickelodeon classic, Squidward has to be the best character. With his self-deprecating humor and his hotheadedness, there's always a time where we watch and think "hmm, I really get him." And from just this connection to real emotions not normally displayed in cartoons, we love his character.
9. Peter Griffin (Family Guy)
The more I think about Peter Griffin, the more I realize that he and Michael Scott have very similar humor. The difference is, Peter Griffin is a cartoon, which makes what he does something a little more humorous BECAUSE IT'S NOT REAL LIFE. Obviously, I am aware that The Office is not real life, but you can really feel the secondhand embarrassment when watching real people interact.
10. Donna (Parks and Recreation)
It took me a while to think of Donna, but I'm glad I didn't forget to include her. Donna's character emirates female empowerment as she is a sassy woman who does what she wants. She's the symbol of feminism that everyone needs and a reminder that there's always a time to "treat yo' self!"
11. Nick Miller (New Girl)
Nick Miller is a bum. As much as we hate to admit it, we all wish we could live his life. Basically having no rules and no one to supervise you is every child/teen/college student's dream. We could all learn a thing or two from Nick Miller about how to live life, and how to be humorous without even trying.
12. Linda Belcher (Bob's Burgers)
I totally forgot about Bob's Burgers while I was writing this, and I know that would make my entire family disappointed. BUT, Linda Belcher is seriously one of the best TV moms right now. Her constant loudness and eccentrics make every episode captivating and hilarious. Maybe you don't think so, but she definitely holds a place in my heart.
13. Liz Lemon (30 Rock)
Somewhat based on Tina Fey's life as a writer for Saturday Night Live, 30 Rock has all the components for a great TV show. With a stacked cast and constant changes in set and plot, there's no way this show can't catch your eye. Also, Liz Lemon is probably one of the funniest and most relatable female protagonists you'll ever watch on your television.
14. Cosmo and Wanda (Fairly Odd Parents)
I'm putting these two together because one really wouldn't be funny without the other. I don't know about the newer seasons (since I think this show is still running) but Cosmo and Wanda's bickering and comedic back and forth made Fairly Odd Parents one of the funniest shows growing up.
15. Literally any other character from The Office (except Andy)
The reason the show is so comedically successful is because of the supporting characters. While I would argue that they should be the focus of the show, supporting roles like Phyllis, Stanley, and Angela fill the show with the humor that we all deserve from a show like The Office.
1. Start a new show to binge on Netflix or Hulu
Remember the time when everyone was talking about that cool new show on Netflix and you couldn't watch it since you were drowning in work so you had to add it to the list of shows you want to watch? You can finally whip that sucker out and binge a new show without feeling bad.
2. Have a mini reunion with your high school friends
You didn't stop talking to them for a reason; it's just that college and life happened. Go ahead and call up (or text, whichever floats your boat) a few of your friends from the Class of 2000-whenever-you-graduated, because they're probably bored out of their minds as well.
3. Be a tourist in your own home town
If you live in a big city, this is super easy to do because I'm sure you haven't done EVERYTHING there is to do in your hometown. Grab your family or friends and be the tacky tourists you've grown to hate.
4. Work
I'm not just talking about singing Rihanna's hit single. The holidays are fastly approaching and since you've been too busy stressing over homework and tests, you're broke! If you're still in contact with a former boss, hit him/her up and ask to pick up a few shifts!
5. Spend time with family
Isn't that what the holidays are about anyways?
6. Workout
If a friend from home has a gym membership and they can bring people with them, ask to be their gym buddy for a few weeks!
7. Update your resume
As a college student, always make sure that you're resume is up to date, because you never know when the opportunity comes along when you may need it!
8. Search for a job/internship
Since you've already updated your resume, you can start looking for jobs or applying to summer internships! College seniors, the time to start applying for full-time jobs after graduation is NOW! So make sure those resumes, cover letters, and portfolios are in tip-top shape!
9. Have a bonfire
Remember all those notes you had to take? Remember the textbooks that you bought from the school bookstore and can't resell them back? Let them be the fuel to this fire. BURN IT ALL!
10. Start learning a new language
Do you want to feel cultured and want to learn a new language? Now is the time!
12. Treat yo self!
It's been a long semester. Get together with your mom and treat yourselves to a nice spa day because honey, you deserve it.
13. Drive around town and look at Christmas decorations
It's the most wonderful time of the year! Go out and enjoy the pretty lights your community has put up!
14. Sleep until oblivion
You couldn't do it while you were in school, so catch up on it now!
15. Volunteer
It's always a good thing to give back to your community, and it's the best time to do that when you don't have anything else going on.
16. Re-organize your playlists
Kick out all those songs that you skip every time and add the new hits you can't stop listening to!
17. Donate to charity
Whether it's just putting your spare change in a Salvation Army bucket or donating lightly worn clothes and blankets to a homeless shelter, the holidays are for giving even to those who are less fortunate than others. Make sure that everyone has a happy holiday season!
18. Do some online shopping that doesn't harm your bank account
Since you probably got some money for Christmas from your family, you can get yourself a little Christmas gift that you may have forgotten to tell someone else to get for you.
19. Bake!
That recipe you pinned on Pinterest four months ago is calling your name! Go find it and make Martha Stewart proud!
20. Watch Christmas movies
Curl up on the couch with your significant other, your BFFs, your parents, or your pets and have a Christmas movie marathon!
Now you'll never feel bored during your Winter Break! Happy Holidays everyone!
