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.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair
Tumblr

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
