10 Times Dwight Schrute Was The Most Relatable

During finals week, anything goes.

I have been watching way too much of The Office lately. Like, hours and hours. It's a comforting show, especially when you are feeling insanely stressed. And there is one thing I've noticed: Dwight Schrute is insanely relatable. At least, to my coffee-jacked, frazzle-brained self. So, in the spirit of finals, here are 10 times Dwight's quotes have made me think,"Me too, man."

1. “How would I describe myself? Three words: hard working, alpha male, jackhammer, merciless, insatiable.”

As someone who recently had a job interview, I think I speak for everyone when I say I wish I could say this about myself.

2. “The principle is sound. To avoid illness, expose yourself to germs, enabling your immune system to develop antibodies. I don’t know why everyone doesn’t do this… Maybe they have something against living forever.”

If you have ever lived in a college dorm, you know that this may not be true. But it's a comforting thought when your entire floor has the flu and you hope you aren't next.

3. “I am ready to face any challenge that might be foolish enough to face me.”

This is a mantra for finals week, or really any time you just need to get hyped for a difficult day.

4. “Why are all these people here? There are too many people on this earth. We need a new plague.”

The only thought you have when the line for coffee at the library goes out the door.

5. “There are 3 things you never turn your back on; bears, men you have wronged, and a dominant male turkey during mating season.”


As someone whose college campus is rife with male turkeys, this is actually strangely relevant.

6.“Before I do anything I ask myself, ‘Would an idiot do that?’ and if the answer is yes, I do not do that thing.”

On making decisions.

7. "Fortunately my feelings regenerate at twice the speed of a normal man's."

For when your TA leaves a less than stellar comment on your essay, or you scroll too far back on your crush's Instagram feed.

8. "Always the padawan, never the Jedi."

For when you know you're always learning.

9. "You couldn't handle my undivided attention."

The real reason you stay on your phone during lecture is to save your professor from the danger of your complete attention.

10. “D.W.I.G.H.T – Determined, Worker, Intense, Good worker, Hard worker, Terrific.”

For when you need motivation, and come up with a good acronym for your own name.

Now, go forth and conquer!

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
