27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us
http://www.ssninsider.com/

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

1. The good old days are always happening now, so live in the moment.


2. “Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica” are the three most important topics one can talk about.


3. The Dundies are cooler than the Oscars.

4. Everybody has a Toby, and they are just someone you have to learn to deal with.

5. Group pictures are hard to take (especially jumping pics).

6. It's never too early to eat ice cream.

7. Schrute’s are always prepared for anything.

Except pop culture references...

8. Holidays are important and a very good reason to host any kind of party.

9. There will always be cynical co-workers to deal with.

10. Putting things in Jell-O is a great use of your time.

11. Sometimes funny voices and personas make awkward situations easier (just ask Prison Mike).

12. That places you may not always love can bring you the people you love.

13. Determination is an important characteristic to possess.

14. Sarcasm is essential in everyday life.

15. Love can be really weird.

16. At Halloween time, it is trivial to come with your best costume ready.

17. Friendship is long lasting no matter where the future takes you.

18. Pranks are funny no matter the age.


19. Goodbyes are hard, but reunions are worth it.

20. Blogs are confusing.

21. "That's what she said" jokes will never get old.

22. Jim Halpert can say so much with just a look at the camera.

23. Bros should always come before hoes because...

24. Declaring bankruptcy isn't as hard as we all thought.

25. Office places can be weird and stressful at times.

26. Michael Scott loves Dunder Mifflin and the Scranton Office more than anything.

27. "The Office" truly does have a lot that it can teach us.

Whether you binged watched on Netflix, or on real TV, "The Office" probably has a special place in your heart and has taught you a lot in the time you have watched it.

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.

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.
