Arcadia's Campus As Characters From "The Office"
Buzzfeed.com

With a campus as unique as Arcadia's, it's sometimes hard to find just the right words to describe its most distinctive physical attributes. There's just so much personality to each individual building and residence hall that I could only think of one way to fully encompass each of the most prominent places on campus; with characters from "The Office!"

Academic Buildings

Brubaker Hall - Jim Halpert

Brubaker, traditionally the building for many of the business classes at Arcadia, has bright hallways and professors keep their offices open to students. Perhaps most notably, Brubaker is directly connected to Easton which is important because of Pam.

Easton Hall - Pam Beesly

Ah, yes. The unstoppable duo for office pranks and jokes. Maybe this would explain why the water feature behind Easton mysteriously fills up with bubbles every Halloween.


Taylor Hall - Angela Martin

Home to many of the writing classes at Arcadia, Taylor Hall's classrooms are structured less lecture style and more traditional-school room style. Angela is quite traditional and conservative, so I think she would appreciate this orthodox fashion.

Boyer Hall of Science - Dwight Schrute

As all of the Biology, Psychology, and Chemistry majors know, Boyer is a darker building but it is filled with lab equipment that is perfect for top secret experiments. I'm sure Dwight would have a field day (and it's only a short walk from Taylor Hall).

Spruance Fine Art Center - Kelly Kapoor

Kelly certainly has a flair for the dramatic, and since Spruance houses a lovely theater for all of the drama and musical productions every semester.

Murphy Hall - Ryan Howard

Located conveniently adjacent to Spruance, Murphy is the art and communications building that is infamous for kiln fires, and I'm sure we all remember who started the fire.


Landman Library - Karen Filipelli

Although she's not on the show too much, when she does make an appearance, Karen seems to be one of the only characters that has any idea what's going on. She's knowledgable and sometimes overlooked, just like the library, but still an asset to her environment.

Activity Centers

The Commons - Darryl Philbin

Easily the character with the most chill, Darryl wholeheartedly encompasses the relaxed atmosphere of the Commons. There's a game room, comfy couches, and The Chat provides some good snacks!

The Kuch Athletic and Recreation Center - Andy Bernard

No one is more packed with energy than Andy, and given the two gyms stuffed with workout equipment and an indoor track, I think Andy would fit in just right (as long as he's careful to tape down his nipples to prevent chafing, that is).

The Dining Complex - Kevin Malone

Kevin loves food and I'm sure he'd love to cook up a pot of his famous chili. Need I say more?

Blankley Alumni House - Jan Levinson

A tiny but sophisticated building located at one of the entrances to Arcadia. It gets a little crazy at times with the different club meetings that happen there, but just like Jan, no matter how crazy things get, things always manage to settle back in order.

The Sports Dome - David Wallace

You never really see it, but you always know that it's there... just like corporate.

Residence Halls

The Castle - Michael Scott

A little bit extra and extravagant, but it just wouldn't be Arcadia without Grey Towers Castle, just like the office of Dunder Mifflin Scranton wouldn't be the same without Michael Scott.

Knight Hall - Toby Flenderson

Toby puts up with a lot as the Human Resources manager, and Knight Hall not only houses students, but also runs Career Education and student tutoring services. Quite the multitasking.

Heinz Hall - Creed Bratton

Heinz is infamous for its ghostly occurrences (but you didn't hear that from me), and Creed definitely has gotten into some more, shall we say "suspicious" activities in his lifetime.

Dilworth Hall - Meredith Palmer

At least when I was a first year student, Dilworth was a bit more "party-oriented" than its surrounding residence halls, and I feel like Meredith knows how to party.

Thomas Hall - Oscar Martinez

Just like Oscar is stuck between Angela and Kevin in accounting, Thomas is smushed in between Dilworth and Kistler, and is such a good sport about it, too.

Kistler Hall - Phyllis Vance

As a former Kistler resident once told me, "It just has a Phyllis vibe!"

Bonus

Haber Green - Stanley Hudson

One of the most beloved spots on campus (even if its sprinklers do catch you by surprise), the Green is essential to Arcadia's student life just like Stanley's sass and sarcastic comments are essential to The Office.

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.
