If you're reading this, you're more than likely a fan of "The Office" like I am. You've watched every season more than once; you know all of the characters, their traits, and their flaws. If you're like me, you've also probably saw yourself in each of those characters. Here's how I relate to them.
Dwight Shrute.
Dwight is known as the over achiever of "The Office." In school, as well as other aspects of my life, I also consider myself an over achiever. I meet deadlines, always show up on time, and rarely miss any days of work. Fact.
Michael Scott.
Michael has a heart of gold. He always wants what is best for his employees. He also wants to be loved and appreciated. He's gone through some bad break ups, but eventually found the love of his life & his future. I've been through the same. I've had my share of toxic "Jan," but I'm so glad I found my "Holly."
Jim Halpert.
Jim is quirky. He's average. He's one of the most romantic people on the show who pays attention to small details (ex: the teapot gift). Like Jim, I go above and beyond for the ones that I love and care for. I pay attention to little things that they might not even know they have mentioned.
Pam Beesly.
Like Pam, I am also a receptionist. I answer calls and transfer them all day. I also believe I am like Pam in the sense of her growth throughout the different seasons. She went from being someone who is quiet and kept to herself to someone who opened up about what she wanted and what she deserved. She finds enjoyment from the little things and loves her family with all she has. I am her. She is me.
Kelly Kapoor.
Kelly is the queen of knowing all of the current trends and latest gossip. She's witty with her comebacks and loves to speak her mind. Not only do I keep up with both, but I also relate to Kelly on the other spectrum: the insecurity issues. She doesn't always know how beautiful and smart she really is. She also doesn't give herself enough credit.
Ryan Howard.
Have you ever made a mistake in your life? If so, then you and I both relate to Ryan. He's the poster child for mistakes and bad decisions. I own up to my own toxicity and mistakes I've made in the past. However, we have also made a comeback from those mistakes and didn't let them define us.
Andy Bernard.
The Nard Dog. The one who always wants approval from his parents. The one who always wants to fit in. Even when I was little, I wanted to make my parents proud. You never want to disappoint them in anything you do. I also used to want to fit in with everyone, even though I knew it wasn't an option. I was an introverted social butterfly. However, like Andy, I learned it was okay to be myself and people would learn to love me for who I was, despite my flaws.
Toby Flenderson.
You know those days where you want people to like you and you want to interact with them, but you give up because you really don't care? You'd just rather sit at home and watch murder documentaries and things about serial killers.... there's your Toby.
Stanley Hudson.
The embodiment of "I don't care." I go to work, pay bills, come home, and repeat every day doing the same thing. I hate walking upstairs. I'm easily annoyed. I also have a mad love for pretzels.
Kevin Malone.
Kevin really doesn't get enough credit. He's actually very smart, even though people think he's an idiot. Sometimes, when people don't give me enough credit for the things I do, I feel like him. I also share his love of M&M'S, as well as having very little patience for stupidity.
Creed Bratton.
Hands down, my favorite underrated character. I relate to him in the sense of he's always observing other people and what they're doing, but stays quiet while doing it. It's better to listen than be seen.
Oscar Martinez.
Actually, I can at times be a know it all. I also don't like to be corrected.
