What Jim And Pam From The Office Have Taught Us About Life And Love

Jim and Pam are the best couple in TV history for so many reasons. Besides being the cutest, they have taught viewers over the years that love is not always fun. They have also taught us that life has a lot of ups and downs, but if you find the right person, you can get through it

Friends first

The Office has made it seem like being friends first before dating someone is the best way to go. Many people happen to agree with this. Jim and Pam are the perfect example of how this happens. Everyday for five seasons, Jim sat across from Pam as she was the receptionist for the office. He was always at her desk just talking to her. They became really close friends and from there, things took off. The office teaches us that being friends first is probably a good idea. Jim and Pam really got to know each other this way.


Waiting has its benefits

Jim waited for Pam for so long while she was dating/engaged to Roy. Jim has taught us that waiting for something is very hard, but in the end it will most likely be worth it. Usually when you wait for something for a very long time like Jim did, it's even better when you finally get it.


LDR's are possible

Even though Pam goes away to art school for a while, her and Jim make it work. They love each other so much that they decide to stay together through their long distance relationship. Jim and Pam even go as far as getting the worlds tiniest bluetooth pieces to keep in their ears so they can talk to each other all day, every day. They have taught us that if the love is real, the relationship will last. More importantly, they have taught us that dating can be tough, but if you work hard, you can survive a long distance relationship. Jim and Pam even got engaged in the middle of their long distance relationship.


Love does not always look good

Jim loved Pam from the start. Even when she was her frizzy haired self, Jim loved Pam for more reasons than just her looks. This is a good lesson from Jim and Pam because they have taught us that if you love someone, you should accept them as they are, and not really care too much about how they look. When Pam gets pregnant, she even throws up in the office and is constantly complaining about smells and pains. Jim sticks with her through it all.


Support is important

Jim and Pam have taught us that supporting your significant other is very important in a relationship. Supporting one another will keep the both of you happy which will in return, keep the relationship as a whole happy. On Jim and Pam's wedding day, Pam gets upset because she doesn't feel good about herself. To make her feel like everything is okay, Jim cuts off half of his tie.


Appreciate one another

Jim and Pam have taught us that appreciating each other in a relationship is everything. Without appreciation, one person can start feeling like they are being taken for granted. Jim and Pam give us great examples of how they show appreciation for one another.

And of course, we can't forget about this note that Pam found from Jim...how cute is that?


Hold on to true love

Lastly, Jim and Pam have taught us to hold on to true love. When you find that special someone, don't let go.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
