12 Life Lessons I've Learned From The Office

Whether you’re like me and have watched The Office 10 times through, or you’ve never seen it at all, there are lessons within the series that can be appreciated by anyone. From the painful seasons showcasing Pam’s and Roy’s relationship, all the way to seeing Jim and Pam end up exactly where they belong, The Office carried us through a hilarious whirlwind of emotions. In almost every episode there is a lesson to learn, here are just a few.

1. Never give up on someone or something you love.

The first kiss (insert heart-eyes emoji here).

2. Sometime’s life kicks you around, but if you start appreciating the little things, it gets easier.

3. Don’t do drugs, kids.

Need I say more?

4. Be yourself without regrets.

Do what you want, say what you want, and most importantly, eat what you want.

5. There are some things you should just keep to yourself.

Nothing's worse than saying something and immediately regretting it.

6. Prison is not better than working in an office.

I couldn't help but sneak Prison Mike into this list...

7. Sometimes a little humor is all you need.

8. Never eat a plate full of Fettuccine Alfredo right before a 5k.

Noted.

9. Appreciate the now.

10. Don’t sweat the small stuff.

11. Be confident and love yourself.

12. And most importantly, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take - Wayne Gretzky” - Michael Scott.

Oh The Office, you never fail to make me cry from all sorts of different emotions, I love you more than Jan loves herself.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
