How The Office Has Taken Over My Life
Hollywood.com

Season 1: You don’t really know what you’re watching. A couple friends told you it was hilarious and you made a judgment that The Office was literally a show about an office. You assumed all the characters were idiots and it was a stupid humor as they were goofy and nobody quite knew what they were doing. Halfway through the season you’re already addicted. You realize there’s more to this show then goofy guys selling paper. There is a little foreshadowing to a love story between Jim and Pam, but Roy stands in the way.

Season 2: Thins are starting to get better. This is a funny show. Dwight may be the weirdest dude you’ll ever see on TV and WHY WON’T PAM JUST BREAK UP WITH ROY ALREADY?! You start to develop this love/hate feeling towards Michael, he can show some extremely sexist attitude that you’re not about, but maybe this will focus more on everyone else later. You start to feel like you belong here, you don’t get anything done all day and hey, who couldn’t sell a little paper?

Season 3: The seasons start to mesh together. There are some irrelevant episodes but this show will become your life. You will quote each character on a daily basis and hell if your friends don’t understand. I’m not even sure when Pam and Roy break up, maybe it’s not even this season, but whatever because you know they have to at some point and you have already made up your mind that they are close to the end.

Season whatever: Is this show honestly about Jim and Pam? You begin to love Michael and realize he really just wants to find love. Jan was so confusing. The realtor was irrelevant. But Holly. As soon as Holly came along, everything changed. Who knew they could create another character as weird as Michael. This show has changed your life and your world revolves around watching more and more. You laugh at the inside jokes and develop this crude humor most non-watchers wouldn’t understand. This new ownership is awkward but Kathy Bates is there so this must be good. Gabe is trash, he’s literally only there just to be there. Why couldn’t he leave?

Season 7: WHAT THE HELL?? Who said it was okay for Michael to leave and be replaced by Will Farrell. Terrible decision. Especially since he wasn’t his usual funny self.

Reasons “The Office” took over my life. I sat here for an hour and was able to come up with so many crucial pieces from this show. I find myself quoting random scenes and getting to bed earlier and earlier each night just to see how many episodes I can fit in before getting too tired to function. So, the question is, do I recommend “The Office” to a fellow Netflix ‘binger’? Not unless you’re ready for a life commitment. Get ready to bond with fictional characters and feel like a complete part of their life. Get ready to be on a first name basis where after you discuss a scene, you have to explain where it’s from. Get ready to run away from your responsibilities.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
