Life Lessons From Characters Of "The Office"

Sadly, I just recently finished all nine seasons of "The Office." It was so bittersweet ending my favorite show ever. "The Office" incorporates everything you could possibly want from a show, from hilarious characters to episodes that can make you laugh and cry. Now that I have finished the show, I have realized that even though it is meant to be a comedy, each of the characters that you learned to love can teach you valuable life lessons.


Michael Scott

It’s important to have fun in life and joke around. Even as the boss, he is the biggest goofball in the office. While it’s important to get your work done, you don’t have to take yourself so seriously all the time!


Jim Halpert

Ugh. My favorite character ever. He makes us remember that love always comes first and to always prioritize what’s important in life – your loved ones.

Pam Beesly

If you aren’t satisfied with something in your life, you have the power to change that. Stand up for yourself and do what is best for you.

Dwight Schrute

It’s OK to be weird, so don’t care so much about the opinions of others.

Angela Martin

Don't let your pride consume you. You are never alone. Turn to people you can always rely on because asking for help is not a sign of weakness.

Erin Hannon

This one's simple – don't worry, be happy.

Kevin Malone

Enjoy the simple things that life has to offer.

Stanley Hudson

Life is short, so take risks and enjoy your time.

Kelly Kapoor

It’s important to say what you’re thinking or how you feel; don’t keep quiet about something that has been on your mind.

Toby Flenderson

Poor Toby. Michael hates him for pretty much no reason. However, Toby teaches us that not everyone in life will like you, but it's OK because your purpose is not to please people.

Darryl Philbin

Remember to make time for yourself. Treating yourself to some relaxation is always nice every now and then; you deserve it.

Andy Bernard

Appreciate every moment in life, because you will eventually find that time flies.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
