Threat Level: Midnight

The office is a show stocked with life lessons.

Threat Level: Midnight

It’s pretty common to analyze why TV shows are watched. All over the Odyssey, you can find articles about what certain TV shows have taught them. One thing is the same with every one of these shows, secondary characters don’t get enough respect. So, for the little guys of TV, I present the five life lessons learned from the office’s secondary characters.

1.)Ryan- intelligence without ethics is useless.

Ryan is the hot shot business school employee who takes over as VP of Dunder Mifflin. He eventually crashes due to lack of work ethic and morals in general. Take it from Ryan, intelligence doesn’t always equal excellence.


2.) Stanley- How to truly love something.

Not what you expected? I dare you to think of one thing that someone loves more than Stanley loves pretzel day or cake or pie. Nice try but you can’t. If you need to learn how to love, Stanley is your guy.


3.) Creed- Ignorance is bliss.

Creed is my personal favorite of the office’s secondary characters. He is famous for his one liners that come out of nowhere and make everyone laugh. One running joke in the show is that no one knows what Creed’s job is. He can’t even pronounce it himself. Ignorance is bliss and creed is not short of either.


4.) Kevin- It’s important to have goals.

Kevin is seen as a dumb character on the office, however, I disagree. Kevin is a goal driven man. He knows his talents and priorities. You should be more like Kevin in the image below.


5.) Toby- absolutely nothing.

Toby is the worst. Toby teaches us nothing. Just ask Michael.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

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.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.
