Dwight K. Schrute's 20 Best Moments on "The Office"

" The Office" is and will always be one of the best shows that NBC has ever come up with. And Dwight K. Schrute is by far one of the funniest characters on the show. Let's take a look at some of his famous quotes throughout the show:

1. Loyalty: “Would I ever leave this company? Look, I’m all about loyalty. In fact, I feel like part of what I’m being paid for here is my loyalty. But if there were somewhere else that valued loyalty more highly… I’m going wherever they value loyalty the most.”

2. 
Speed Scale: “I am fast. To give you a reference point, I am somewhere between a snake and a mongoose…and a panther.”

3. Security: “Security in this office park is a joke. Last year, I came to work with my spud-gun in a duffel bag. I sat at my desk all day with a rifle that shoots potatoes at 60 pounds per square inch. Can you imagine if I was deranged?”

4. Superior Brain Power: “Through concentration, I can raise and lower my cholesterol at will.”

5. Friends: “And I did not become a Lackawanna County volunteer sheriff’s deputy to make friends. And by the way, I haven’t.”

6. The Person You Least, Medium, and Most Suspect: “It’s never the person who you most suspect. It’s also never the person you least suspect, since anyone with half a brain would suspect them the most. Therefore, I know the killer to be Phyllis…the person who I most medium suspect.”

7. Pull the Plug: 
“As a farmer, I know that when an animal is sick sometimes the right thing to do is put it out of its misery. With the electricity we are using to keep Meredith alive, we could power a small fan for two days. You tell me what’s unethical.”

8. Accidentally vs. On Purpose: “People say, ‘oh, it’s dangerous to keep weapons in the home, or the workplace.’ Well I say, it’s better to be hurt by someone you know, accidentally, than by a stranger, on purpose.”

9. Ideal Choice: 
“Once I’m officially Regional Manager, my first order of business will be to demote Jim Halpert. So, I will need a new number two. My ideal choice? Jack Bauer. But he is unavailable. Fictional. And overqualified.”

10. Immunity Logic: 
“The principle is sound. To avoid illness, expose yourself to germs, enabling your immune system to develop antibodies. I don’t know why everyone doesn’t do this… Maybe they have something against living forever.”

11. Water Cooler Gossip: 
“It’s a real shame because studies have shown that more information gets passed through water cooler gossip than through official memos. Which puts me at a disadvantage, because I bring my own water to work.”

12. All These People: “Why are all these people here? There are too many people on this earth. We need a new plague.”


13. Attention: 
“You couldn’t handle my undivided attention.”

14. Love: “All you need is love. False. The four basic human necessities are air, water, food, and shelter.”

15. Idiot: “Before I do anything I ask myself, ‘Would an idiot do that?’ and if the answer is yes, I do not do that thing.”

16. Challenges: “I am ready to face any challenge that might be foolish enough to face me.”

17. D.W.I.G.H.T: "D.W.I.G.H.T – Determined, Worker, Intense, Good worker, Hard worker, Terrific."

18. Coworkers: "I like the people that I work with, generally. With four exceptions."

19. I Don't Believe You: “I don’t believe you, continue.”

20. Ben Franklin: "I don’t care what Jim says, that is not Benjamin Franklin. I am 99 percent sure.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
