Ten Underrated Moments Of "The Office"

Ten Underrated Moments Of "The Office"

Everyone has that one series they can watch over and over again on Netflix. Mine happens to be "The Office." Yes, it's very typical college student of me to love "The Office." There are some great lines in the show, and we all know them already. But there are some other lines that just have never made their mark on those social media memes you see trending on Twitter and Instagram. I have always wondered why. Instead of holding out on those one-liners that have been neglected, let's take the chance to give them some recognition now,because we can apply these to many everyday situations.

1. "We're finding new interns to try to euthanize this place."

Michael is talking about the job fair that is being held at the local high school. He obviously didn't intend to make it seem like he wanted to peacefully wipe out his staff, but, you know, words are hard.

2. "Yeah, right, I filled him with butter and sugar for 50 years and forced him not to exercise."

After Stanley has a heart-attack when Dwight decides to create a fire drill (that inevitably turned to shit), Dwight has to apologize. This is an example of Dwight's sass and outspoken personality, and yet, I want to say this to every person who complains about packing on pounds at the house McDonald's.

3. "Sometimes I start a sentence and I don’t know where it’s going. I just hope I find it along the way."

There isn't much to say about this. Michael's ADHD is something every college student can relate to. Yes, I frequently start a sentence and talk a few laps' worth before I reach my point. Who doesn't?

4. "There's too many people on this Earth. We need a new plague."

Yes, Dwight, I agree. Except there should be a plague that specifically wipes out the people who think it's okay to wear camouflage cargo shorts.

5. "That’s Northern Lights, Cannabis Indica." "No, it’s marijuana."

When someone asks you a question and you are confident about your answer, but they still argue your answer, because they are misinformed. Why don't people acknowledge Creed's drug background? Every time I watch this episode, I don't know if Creed's knowledge or Dwight's ignorance is more comical.

6. "

If I had a gun with two bullets and I was in a room with Hitler, Bin Laden, and Toby, I would shoot Toby twice."

I love Toby; but yes, Michael, I feel you on this. Of course there is that person I would shoot twice, even if I was in a room with Bin Laden and Hitler. But they'd probably shoot me first.

7. "She's gonna hate being a mom."

Classic Meredith response after the rumor about Pam's pregnancy was spread. Tell it like it is, Meredith Palmer. This is what I want to say to those people who "can't wait" to get married and have kids at the age of 20. Go get drunk and make mistakes; you would hate being a mom right now.

8. "I am running away from my responsibilities, and I it feels good."

Uncertain and confused, Michael doesn't know what to do about Jan. So, hopping on a freight train and aimlessly riding at two miles per hour sounded like a great idea. This runs through my mind just about every Sunday of each academic school year.

9. "Everything I have I owe to this job; this stupid, wonderful, boring, amazing job."

Jim Halpert, I wish you could be my husband. But you have taught me so much about what I hope to find in a man later in life. Yes, your job is shitty, but sticking with it for the person you love is nothing short of rewarding. Thanks for showing me that.

10. "I am Beyonce, always."


You just get me, Michael.

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.

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.
