Buzzfeed quizzes: they are the conquerors of boredom. With nothing else to do and a friend asking me what my results were, I took the “Which Character From ‘The Office’ Are You?” quiz. I excitedly awaited my results after I answered the last question and… I got Michael Scott. I won’t lie I was a little disappointed, but he has some relatable traits. Some of those traits I see in others too: in fact, like everyone. Below are my findings.


1. Thinking about the future compared to your current situation…


“Yes. Money has been a little bit tight lately, but at the end of my life, when I'm sitting on my yacht, am I gonna be thinking about how much money I have? No. I'm gonna be thinking about how many friends I have and my children and my comedy albums.”


2. Visiting parents when you have no food…


“I was never in this for the money. But it turns out that the money was an absolute necessity for me.”


3. Watching scary movies or hearing ghost stories…


“I'm not superstitious, but I am a little stitious.”

4. When you try to make friends…


“Do I need to be liked? Absolutely not. I like to be liked. I enjoy being liked. I have to be liked, but it's not like this compulsive need to be liked, like my need to be praised.”


5. When you’re trying to get out of something…


Michael Scott: “Wish I could, but I can't. Well, can, but won't. Should, maybe, but shorn't.”

Kevin Malone: “Michael, please...”

Michael Scott: “What part of ‘shorn't’ don't you understand, Kevin?”


6. When you see your crush…


Michael Scott: “...for Holly. And I'm looking for perfect songs that work on two levels.”

Jim Halpert: “What are the two levels?”

Michael Scott: “The two levels being, ‘Welcome to Scranton’ and ‘I love you.’”


7. Any time someone doubts you…


“Yeah, well, maybe next time you will estimate me.”


8. How you justify procrastination…


“I can spend all day on a project, and he will finish the same project in half an hour. So that should tell you something.”

9. When something goes wrong and you frantically try to fix it…


“And I knew exactly what to do. But in a much more real sense, I had no idea what to do.”


10. #RelationshipGoals…


“Would I rather be feared or loved? Easy. Both. I want people to be afraid of how much they love me.”

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
