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.

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.
