Why Creed Is The Greatest Character On 'The Office'
Drunken Chinese

While every viewer is busy fawning over Jim and Pam’s relationship, the true hero of "The Office" shines on. Creed Bratton, the erratic, and pretty much clinically insane, character takes the award for greatest person on the show. The random and outrageous things he says, does and talks about are legendary. I knew the moment that I finished "The Office" that Creed was definitely the underrated star of the show and deserves to be in the spotlight. Here are a handful of the numerous times I realized that Creed went above and beyond my expectations for his character and truly surprised us all.

1. A great episode where Creed really shines is when he was manager for the day. He gathers his employees in the conference room to put together an anagram out of the word "boboddy" and spells business as "biznus." What even is boboddy?

2. Another great thing about Creed is how he never really knows what he's doing at Dunder Mifflin ... And neither do we.

3. Creed's coworkers also decide to play a prank on him one day and switch the apple he's eating with a potato. He didn't notice.

4. He also says very peculiar and entertaining things throughout the show, but no one ever really knows exactly what he's talking about.

5. You can't forget about his always thoughtful and personal Secret Santa gifts.

6. Creed also goes to great lengths to keep his job. One episode, he thought he was going to lose his job because he was too old and dyed his hair with printer ink.

7. Creed cares about the younger generation. He gives back to the teenage community.

8. He also seems to care about women and uses their bathroom instead of the men's. No one ever questions this.

9. And finally, in the season finale, when you realize that Creed Bratton was actually Creed Bratton from The Grass Roots the whole time.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
