9 Michael Scott Quotes That Describe My Mood Exactly

There will never be a greater boss than Michael Scott. Although the majority of the things he said and did were completely inappropriate, being manager of the Scranton branch of Dunder Mifflin Paper Company always came easy to him. Whether he was sleeping with his boss or doing "parkour" with his employees, he exemplified many characteristics of being a natural-born leader.

Here are a few times that Michael said it just right:

1) "Toby is in HR, which technically means he works for corporate, so he's really not a part of our family. Also, he's divorced, so he's really not a part of his family."

2) "A gentleman does not kiss and tell. And neither do I."

3) "Sometimes you have to take a break from being the kind of boss that's always trying to teach people things. Sometimes you just have to be the boss of dancing."

4) "Dwight, you ignorant slut."

5) "Sometimes I'll start a sentence, and I don't even know where it's going. I just hope I find it along the way. Like an improv conversation. An improversation."

6) "Abraham Lincoln once said that "If you're a racist, I will attack you with the North" and these are the principles I carry with me in the workplace."

7) "Listen, I like kids, but this is not a kids environment. This is like HBO. No limits. Who knows what I'm gonna say? Crazy stuff and it is R-rated. It is not rated G. I'm like Eddie Murphy in Raw and they are trying to make me into Eddie Murphy in Daddy Daycare. Both great movies, but still."

8) "This is our receptionist, Pam. If you think she's cute now, you should have seen her a couple years ago."

9) "People will never be replaced by machines. In the end, life and business are about human connections. And computers are about trying to murder you in a lake. And to me the choice is easy."


As you can probably tell, The Office is one my favorite TV shows. What I've come to realize is that a lot of the things we laugh at in the show are things that we wish would happen in our own lives. Michael, through unorthodox methods, always kept things interesting at Dunder Mifflin. Whether it was hosting the Dundies, hitting employees with his car, or organizing terrible office retreats, you could always count on Michael to be the kind of boss we all wanted.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

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?
