Life Advice From Dwight Schrute

Dwight Schrute is unlike any other. As a salesman, beet farmer, hotel owner, businessman, and Assistant (to the) Regional Manager, he has lots of wisdom to share. In an effort to make everyone's lives more Dwight-like, I've taken the liberty to pick 10 of Dwight's greatest pieces of life advice, and I urge every one of you to put Dwight's life hacks to practice.



1. Don't be afraid to take risks.


The classic tap-and-walk-the-other-way? Risky. Giving a key to your home? Riskier. If Dwight isn't afraid to take these risks, you shouldn't be either.


2. Do your research.

Staying ahead of the game may turn up with a sizable reward if executed properly.


3. Don't preoccupy yourself with others' opinions of you.

Stay confident in your abilities, and never let others' judgments stand in your way of success.


4. Fight for what you believe in.


Dwight is nothing if not passionate about the things he believes in, whether that be the company he is employed by or the girl he's got his eye on. (Disclaimer: Please avoid arson and other criminal activities when channeling your inner Schrute.)


5. Don't show your hand too soon.

Keep your peers on their toes -- they should always be wondering what you're really thinking/plotting.


6. But it's okay to pick one or two of those peers to befriend.



7. It's okay to embrace your fun side every once in a while.



Even Dwight lets loose occasionally! Don't be afraid to prove to your haters that you can be a prankster, too.


8. Don't be an idiot.

Honestly, we could all take this advice to heart.


9. Pop culture is nothing to concern yourself over.

We can never keep up with all the Hollywood relationships anyway. Sorry, Biebs.


10. Preparation is key to safety.


Your coworkers will thank you later.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
