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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
