The Halloween Episode Of "The Office" Is One Of The Best Episodes. Change My Mind.

The Halloween episode (Season 2, Episode 5) of the epic TV show "The Office" is often slept on, in my opinion. It's fairly early on in the show's existence, and on the surface, it may not be immediately chosen by viewers as one of their favorite episodes in the series. I'm here to change your mind.

This episode brings us one of the most iconic Jim outfits of the series: Three-Hole-Punch Jim. This costume perfectly sums up Jim as a character: pretending he couldn't care less about the office and his job, but putting in just enough effort to prove he really does. If you're not familiar with this episode (or forget it even happened entirely), here's a link to the scene.

We really get to see Jim and Pam's pranking in its prime in this episode. Michael is conflicted because he must fire someone by the end of the month, and he, of course, puts it off until the last day possible. He's hoping someone will offer to be the one to go, and Jim and Pam, being the loyal employees they are, put Dwight's resume on the internet and nearly get him a new job offer in Maryland before he inevitably screws it up. Jim pretends to be Michael on the phone to give a reference for Dwight, and this whole process really shows Jim and Pam as a team and how great they are together.

And, last but not least, we get an iconic Michael Scott blunder in this episode. He has so much anxiety over having to fire one of his employees, he has Jim role play it with him. He also asks Dwight who he thinks he should fire. By the end of the episode, Michael has decided to fire Creed, but Creed somehow convinces him Devon is the one who should be fired. Devon and Michael then get in an argument over who should really be fired, but Michael still ends up letting Devon go, creating an enemy in the process.

This episode perfectly combines office drama, an ingenious prank, and a classic not-so costume. If you don't love the Halloween episode, go rewatch it RIGHT NOW. It's a classic episode and always makes us laugh.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
