A Thank You Letter to Jim and Pam from "The Office"

Jim and Pam have one of the most adorable love stories in television history. We were with them from the very beginning when Jim would spend hours making her laugh all day at reception to their destination wedding to the births of their adorable children. I know personally that I have a lot to thank them for:

Thank you for proving that good things come to those who wait. Jim and Pam both played the waiting game during the series. Though, most forget that Pam had to wait for Jim to realize that his relationship with Karen was going nowhere.

(I've never related to Andy more than in the photo above.)

Thank you for giving us realistic, but high expectations. You deserve much better and much more than you think. If Pam had realized that earlier, it would have saved her a lot of heartbreak and drama with Roy. (Don't settle for a Roy, ladies. You deserve your Jim Halpert, and you'll get him one day.)

Thank you for reminding us that we should settle for nothing less than our soulmates. Even Michael Scott knew that when he didn't settle for Jan, and he finally found Holly who is his soulmate. If Michael Scott can find his soulmate, then you can find yours. Trust me.

Thank you for reminding us to be bold and to be courageous. If you don't say it, then you might spend the rest of your life wondering. In the end, being bold did work out for Jim... eventually.

Thank you for showing us that long distance relationships are not hopeless or doomed to fail. They did it and it worked because they supported each other even though it was hard and they weren't 100% sure about their future. They came out of their struggles even stronger because of their determination and love for each other.

Most of all, thank you for 10 years and 9 seasons of joint effort pranks on Dwight and for allowing Michael to do stupid things (within reason).


Here's to the greatest love story in one of the greatest comedies of the 21st century. What are your favorite Jim and Pam moments, and what did they teach you about love?

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
