I'm sure all of you Dunderheads have had a time in your life when you immediately think of Andy Bernard when you hear "Sweeney Todd," or want to lift a speaker over your head when "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" comes on. Here are 17 songs that you can never listen to the same way again, all because of "The Office."

1. "Stayin' Alive"

Thanks to Michael's first aid training, we all know that "Stayin' Alive," has the perfect beats per minute for CPR.

As long as you start at the chorus and not the beginning of the song...

2."Closing Time"

Thanks to the office, and Stanley, you'll always know that "Closing Time" means it's time to go home.

3. "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)"

Don't we all want to lift a speaker over our head and dance when this song comes on?

4. "We Belong"

Anytime you hear the Pat Benatar classic, all you can think of is Kelly singing karaoke to her crush, Ryan.

5. "Goodbye Stranger"

Or as "The Office," fans know it as "Goodbye Toby." Michael didn't hold back any of his emotions when Toby was leaving for Costa Rica.

6. "Seasons of Love"

Whenever you hear this song you automatically think back to when Michael was leaving Dunder Mifflin and the employees changed the lyrics to the popular song to fit the situation and make us all bawl our eyes out.

7. "We Didn't Start the Fire"

All of us remember when Ryan started a fire by toasting his cheese pita too long, dubbing Ryan "The Fire Guy." Now we can't sing "We Didn't Start the Fire," without adding Ryan's name in there.

8. "Mambo Number Five"

"A little bit of Angela on the thing..."

9. "Just Dance"

You might not sing "Just Dance," any differently, but you'll always think of Michael Scott pulling up in his beloved Sebring while listening to Lady Gaga.

10. "Lazy Scranton"

Dr. Dre and Ice Cube might be straight out of Compton, but Michael Scott and Dwight Schrute are straight out of Scranton.

Once you hear this song, it's stuck in your head for the rest of your life.

11. "Hot Hot Hot"

You'll always want to play the steel drums just like Michael Scott when he returned from his Jamaican vacation with Jan.

12. "Forever"

This song will always remind you of Jim and Pam's wedding when Pam specifically said she didn't want the song "Forever," played, but her officemates danced down the aisle to it anyway.

13. "Sweeney Todd"


Most people may think Johnny Depp or the original Broadway production when they hear "Sweeney Todd" but Dunderheads will always remember Andy's flawless cover of the hit musical.

14. "Nobody But Me "

Remember when the Scranton branch did the best Lip Dub ever?

15. "Physical"

Anytime the Olivia Newton-John classic comes on, you'll think of Holly and Michael teaching the employees all about ethics (while wearing some sick sweatbands).

16. "Shabooya, Roll Call"

Most people probably remember "Shabooya, Roll Call" from "Bring It On" but "The Office" fans will remember it from Kevin's flawless rendition.

"My name is Kevin...that is my name...they call me Kevin...'cause that's my name!"

17. "The Office" Theme Song

This is one is basically a cumulation of all of the memories that Dunder Mifflin's Scranton Branch brought to every single fan of "The Office."

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
