11 Lessons The Office Taught Me

There is nothing better after a long day of classes or work than coming home to your warm bed or comfy couch and flipping on your absolute favorite TV show. For the past 7 years, that show for me has been "The Office." Watching "The Office" on Thursday nights was what I looked forward to every week until the shows end in 2013. Not too long after, my mom and I decided to purchase Netflix, that way I could re-watch my beloved television show over and over and over again (13 times to be exact). That TV series made me laugh until I cried and cry until I laughed. At certain points, this show basically ruined my life (you might need tissues for season 9) but in the best way, and I would not change a thing. Through the humor and sometimes crude jokes I actually learned a few important lessons throughout its 9 hysterical seasons.

1. It's okay to take a break from taking life so seriously.

2. You don't actually have to like everybody you meet or work with.

3. Sometimes you gotta just go with the flow.

4. Take mental pictures.

5. Sometimes you have to date a Roy, or multiple Roys before you find your Jim.

6. You might find a good friendship with the person you least expected.

Like your arch nemesis's wife, perhaps?

7. Your husband or wife should double as your best friend.

Honestly, they are the ultimate relationship and best friend goals. Can't wait to find that one day.

8. Self-confidence is cool.

Hell yes Daryll. Couldn't have said it better myself.

9. It's never too early for ice cream.

Literally never.

10. Never give up on love.

As wild and crazy as Michael Scott is, the man made a good point here. And I'm really glad Jim listened.

11. Cherish every good and blissful moment because one day it all might come to an end.

Cue the tears.

If you've never seen it, first of all I cannot believe you, and second of all watch it. You won't regret it. It has filled my life with so much laughter. While it's full of silly jokes, you also might just learn something.

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.
