10 Times 'The Office' Improved My Mental Health

In This Article:

If you're sad, mad, lonely, drunk, happy, or anywhere in between, The Office will always improve your mood. The number of times I've watched this show may be unhealthy, but it makes me laugh every time! If you want the highlights, you're in the right place. Here are 10 times this show did something that deserves applause.

1. Relatable

Andy was a little much at the beginning, but we learned to love him. He was definitely a suck up, especially in asking Michael to do "bro" things like get a beer and hit on chicks. However, he did point out that he just wanted a friend! So next time your BFF tells you to shut up, use this line.

2. Michael's ~premature~ celebration

When Holly gave her boyfriend an ultimatum about committing, Michael and Erin put together two boxes-one for good news and one for bad. When he doesn't see a ring on her finger, he immediately pops the champagne and blasts Kelly Clarkson, which inspires a huge laugh. The best part is that even though she's still with A.J. at the time, she ends up with Michael in the end, even though they take a LONG time to find each other again.

3. Kelly Kapoor. Enough said. 

When Kelly stands up to Ryan, I think every viewer feels empowered and has her back. She's a bad ass bitch and doesn't care who knows it. Even though he's coming in to run a meeting, she utilizes the open floor to ream him out.

4. My girl.... again.

The business bitch. Brand yourself, it really makes you memorable, even if you're faking it.

5. Michael's misconceptions

Michael says a lot of ironic, ignorant things-but they're inherently hilarious. This is a personal favorite of mine, when he identifies Sbarro as a "New York pizza joint".

6. PB and J

The best combination. This doesn't have to be expanded upon, but Jim and Pam's secret wedding is quite literally the cutest thing that's ever happened. To top it off, "Forever" by Chris Brown makes the perfect background music.

7. Dwight's impersonations

Jim's impersonation of Dwight is legendary. But Dwight's collection of wigs for every co-worker is overlooked, and frankly, much more impressive.

8. PARKOUR!

Dumb, dumb, and dumber. Jim, Dwight, and Andy prove themselves to be the ultimate trio when they attempt hardcore parkour all around the office park.

9. Kevin's famous chili

There are shirts, laptop stickers, hoodies, and more that show off this infamous moment. Kevin having the most Kevin moment one could ever imagine.

10. Stanley laughing?

Let's be real, if Stanley can get a kick out of a meatball, or anything for that matter, you can find something that makes you laugh. So next time you need a pick-me-up or a good laugh, you know exactly where to go. Even though most days we feel like grumpy, tired Stanley, we can totally have just as great of a time as he is here.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
