Why We Should All Want A Jim Halpert

Because he's as close to perfect as it gets.

If you’ve ever watched "The Office," then you know exactly what I’m talking about. Jim Halpert is the epitome of the perfect man, and for so many reasons I could write a novel on just that. But I will spare you the time and just name a few reasons why anyone would be lucky to have a Jim in his or her life.

He’s hilarious.

Everyone wants someone that’s funny, and Jim is just that. He’s not the try-hard funny, making a joke out of everything, which is great. He is effortlessly funny and just so charming you can’t help but laugh at everything he says. Whether it’s his sarcastic comments and pranks to Dwight or just his jokes that he always does when he wants to see Pam smile, he is absolutely hilarious and never fails to make us all laugh.

He loves with everything in him.

If you’re a fan of the show like me, you know how difficult it was to watch Pam with Roy and overlooking Jim. It was quite possibly one of the most heartbreaking things. But it made it so much more worth it when he finally got her (Spoiler alert… but let’s be real, if you didn’t already know that you had to have been living under a rock.) The point is, he never stopped pursuing her and he stayed doing the same things it took to get her after he had her, which is very admirable I must say.

He’s respectful.

With that being said, he never overstepped his boundaries when he knew Pam was taken. He sat back and loved her from afar, focusing on their friendship instead. Obviously, he finally had to put his feelings on the line at some point, but he was patient about doing so because love is patient after all. Even though Jim may have entertained the thought of someone else in the process, he knew all along that Pam was his person. Jim has so much respect for Pam and I think we can all agree that’s what makes him such a great man.

He is attractive, but not in the “stop on the street and stare” kind of way.

OK, now hear me out. Jim is most definitely an attractive male specimen. I’m by no means saying he isn’t. But he’s no Channing Tatum. What I mean by that is that he isn’t the guy with the ripped six-pack abs and perfect bone structure. He is just the right amount of attractive to catch your eye, and have you wondering what on Earth it is about him that is so appealing. And I’ll tell you, that is the best kind of guy, the guy that is attractive but doesn’t know it. And that is Jim Talbert to a tee.

He’s the ideal father.

When Jim found out that he was going to be a dad, his reaction was nothing short of priceless. You could see the excitement written all over his face, and seeing how happy he was about being a father just proved how great of a dad he was going to be. Not only that but the way he loves Pam will let his children know that real love is out there because their parents have it.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
