6 Reasons Why We Don't Deserve The Last Episode Of 'The Office'

It gave us more than just a good laugh.

1. Jim played his last prank on Dwight

Angela and Dwight finally get married after a several season long love story, and Jim is set to be Dwight's best man. Jim decides to play a prank on Dwight by saying that he can't be Dwight's best man. What initially is devastation to Dwight soon turns into a glorious day as his boss and best friend, Michael, appears and takes the best man position.

2. Michael Scott (Steve Carell) came back

Many people speculated about if he would make an appearance after leaving the show two seasons before. Thankfully he did and in doing so, he brought the full show full circle.

3. Erin is reunited with her parents

While doing a press conference for The Office the documentary, an audience member asks Erin if she would be able to forgive her parents for abandoning her. After Erin's shaky answer of yes, the audience member reveals that she is Erin's mom. This shocking moment left no eye dry as the family reunites for the first time since Erin's birth. Even Phillis, another office worker who liked to think she could be Erin's mom, was filled with joy for Erin.

4. Pam sells the family home

Back in the fifth season of The Office Jim Halpert decided to buy and surprise Pam with the house she grew up in. The happy couple enjoyed many years there, but in the last episode of the final season, Pam surprises Jim by selling the house. She decided that it was time that they left Scranton and went on the road so that Jim could pursue his sports marketing dreams. Just like Jim supported Pam when she went to art school, Pam is now supporting Jim as he follows his dreams.

5. Andy made us all want to cherish the season of life we are in right now

It was no secret that Andy Bernard 'Nard Dog' talked about his glory days in the Cornell men's acapella group. At the beginning of season nine, Andy left Scranton to work for the admissions office at Cornell. He came back in the last episode to tell his old co-workers that he missed Dunder Mifflin now that he had left, and that Cornell wasn't as great as he remembered it. He left the audience with the memorable quote, "I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them."

6. We finally find out (at least partially) who Creed was

Since The Office documentary was airing and getting a lot of hype, many of the workers were being recognized on the street. Creed decides to reveal to his coworkers that he was once in a rock band called The Grass Roots. He also mentions that he is hiding from the police because he is a known drug dealer. None of this is a surprise to the audience or to Creed's co-workers because of how odd and mysterious Creed has acted over the years, but none-the-less exciting to know exactly who he is. Later in the last episode, the cameramen catch a glimpse at Creed being put in the back of a police car. At least he lasted nine seasons without being caught.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

two women enjoying confetti

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
