They're perfectly imperfect.

Why Jim And Pam Are The Ultimate #RelationshipGoals

Ever since I began watching "The Office," I have become obsessed with Jim and Pam's relationship. If you haven't seen the television show, then something is seriously wrong. Now, for all of my "One Tree Hill" fans out there, yes, I hear you. Nathan and Haley are #RelationshipGoals. But, Jim and Pam deserve some love here. WARNING: This article contains spoilers. You've been warned.

1. They started in the friend zone

Pam Beesly and Jim Halpert work together in the Dunder Mifflin office, Jim being in sales while Pam works as the receptionist. Pam had been engaged to a man named Roy who worked in the warehouse. Jim and Pam had formed such a fun and close friendship and the audience could just tell that there was something there between the two of them. At the end of the day, however, Pam was still engaged to someone else. In the end, as we can see, they successfully got off of the struggle bus we all know as the friend zone, but it took a bit of work to get there.

2. They are best friends

The perks of dating your best friend is knowing that you can always be yourself in front of them. The best is when you can tag team together to pull pranks on other people.

3. They have always been honest with each other

Jim expressed to Pam how he felt for her even though she was engaged to Roy. Jim may have not gotten the reaction he might have expected in the beginning, but Pam realized she had to be honest with herself. A few moments later, they had their first kiss.

Communication is key, ladies and gentlemen.

4. Their love never faded—even through long-distance

Jim completely supported Pam as she fulfilled her dream to go to design school in New York while Jim stayed in Scranton. Sure, long-distance is not for everyone and that is OK, but Jim and Pam showed that when you really love someone, love has no distance.

5. They have their differences

Fighting and disagreements are 100% normal in a relationship. They accept the fact that even though they may not always see eye to eye, it is okay because they are their own individuals and that is totally fine.

6. Jim loves the fact that Pam is a complete dork

When you love someone, you love them for who they truly are; flaws and all. They both know that they are imperfect and love each other for it each day.

7. Jim was convinced since day 1 that Pam was his only one

Jim shows that when you meet your soulmate—whether you believe in that term or not—you just know. *Cue the sobbing

8. They are all about the simple things

Probably one of the best moments of "The Office" was Jim proposing to Pam outside of a rest stop. What made it so special was the fact that it was just the two of them enjoying the moment together. Even though big and crazy proposals are nice, this one just did it for me.

9. Their wedding was absolutely perfect

There they go again with hitting me right in the feels. Before their actual wedding ceremony, Jim and Pam ran away to have a private and very intimate wedding ceremony at Niagara Falls. Then to top it off, they had their friends and family dance it out to Chris Brown's "Forever" during their other wedding ceremony.

10. Through thick and thin, they are always there for each other

Jim and Pam are each other's support system and they have no problem lifting each other up when the other has fallen down.

11. All in all, they are REAL

Jim and Pam have never been a fairy-tale and perfect couple. They had their struggles and some really heart-tugging moments. Movies and television shows have a habit of displaying unrealistic relationships and we all know it. While some may argue that Jim and Pam's relationship isn't achievable, I beg to differ. Their relationship is so real that it gives people hope that one day, they will find the Jim to their Pam. Don't give up, folks!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
