Ten Underrated Moments Of "The Office"

Everyone has that one series they can watch over and over again on Netflix. Mine happens to be "The Office." Yes, it's very typical college student of me to love "The Office." There are some great lines in the show, and we all know them already. But there are some other lines that just have never made their mark on those social media memes you see trending on Twitter and Instagram. I have always wondered why. Instead of holding out on those one-liners that have been neglected, let's take the chance to give them some recognition now,because we can apply these to many everyday situations.

1. "We're finding new interns to try to euthanize this place."

Michael is talking about the job fair that is being held at the local high school. He obviously didn't intend to make it seem like he wanted to peacefully wipe out his staff, but, you know, words are hard.

2. "Yeah, right, I filled him with butter and sugar for 50 years and forced him not to exercise."

After Stanley has a heart-attack when Dwight decides to create a fire drill (that inevitably turned to shit), Dwight has to apologize. This is an example of Dwight's sass and outspoken personality, and yet, I want to say this to every person who complains about packing on pounds at the house McDonald's.

3. "Sometimes I start a sentence and I don’t know where it’s going. I just hope I find it along the way."

There isn't much to say about this. Michael's ADHD is something every college student can relate to. Yes, I frequently start a sentence and talk a few laps' worth before I reach my point. Who doesn't?

4. "There's too many people on this Earth. We need a new plague."

Yes, Dwight, I agree. Except there should be a plague that specifically wipes out the people who think it's okay to wear camouflage cargo shorts.

5. "That’s Northern Lights, Cannabis Indica." "No, it’s marijuana."

When someone asks you a question and you are confident about your answer, but they still argue your answer, because they are misinformed. Why don't people acknowledge Creed's drug background? Every time I watch this episode, I don't know if Creed's knowledge or Dwight's ignorance is more comical.

6. "

If I had a gun with two bullets and I was in a room with Hitler, Bin Laden, and Toby, I would shoot Toby twice."

I love Toby; but yes, Michael, I feel you on this. Of course there is that person I would shoot twice, even if I was in a room with Bin Laden and Hitler. But they'd probably shoot me first.

7. "She's gonna hate being a mom."

Classic Meredith response after the rumor about Pam's pregnancy was spread. Tell it like it is, Meredith Palmer. This is what I want to say to those people who "can't wait" to get married and have kids at the age of 20. Go get drunk and make mistakes; you would hate being a mom right now.

8. "I am running away from my responsibilities, and I it feels good."

Uncertain and confused, Michael doesn't know what to do about Jan. So, hopping on a freight train and aimlessly riding at two miles per hour sounded like a great idea. This runs through my mind just about every Sunday of each academic school year.

9. "Everything I have I owe to this job; this stupid, wonderful, boring, amazing job."

Jim Halpert, I wish you could be my husband. But you have taught me so much about what I hope to find in a man later in life. Yes, your job is shitty, but sticking with it for the person you love is nothing short of rewarding. Thanks for showing me that.

10. "I am Beyonce, always."


You just get me, Michael.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
