5 Times You Were Michael Scott

The most unrelatable relatable man ever.

5 Times You Were Michael Scott

NBC is easily one of the greatest networks on television, and they certainly did something right when they started the mockumentary “The Office." The dry-humered show is about your average workplace that incorporates all the major personalities that you would find in co-workers. But no character comes close to the World’s Best Boss: Michael Scott.

1. When Michael burned his foot on a George Foreman grill:


Michael loves to wake up to the small of freshly cooked bacon. But when things get a little messy, he burns his foot on his breakfast. Michael then proceeds to spend the rest of the day mooching off his friends for everything because he now believes he is “disabled.” We have all taken off that extra sick day when we “still” don’t feel well, even though our fever has been gone for a day and a half. It’s easy to do things for yourself, but it’s even easier to guilt your friends into doing stuff for you. Leave your grill on next time, you might find people are more keen to help.

2. When Michael has counseling with his worst enemy, Toby:

We all have that one person who we would rather do anything besides spend time with them. For Michael, that’s Toby Flinderson. After many harsh words and actions, Toby and Michael are forced to work it out. In their six-hour counseling session, Michael tells Toby, “You are the worst. I hate your face, I wanna smash it.” Clearly it didn’t go well. We all have a Toby. They are the worst.

3. When Michael runs away:


Money is getting tight for Michael and his girlfriend Jan. When he is convinced to quit his second job he is fearful for his finances. He then hops a stationary train in the hopes to leave it all behind. Much to his avail, he gets nowhere. I relate to this a lot because I often avoid everything I do and then it falls on top of me in a state of panic. Can you say “finals”?

4. When Michael has to do math:


In the office, there is a surplus of money for the quarter. It’s up to Michael to decide where the money is spent. Unfortunately, Michael has no idea what is going on. He then must console the accounts for help. The accountant, Oscar, explains it to Michael as if he was a child. He still doesn’t get it. Same, Michael. Same.

5. When Michael is a great friend:


While Michael constantly slips up, he is the best friend anyone could ask for. The receptionist, Pam, has an art show that she invites the entire office to. When the time for the opening comes, no one shows up for Pam, except Michael. He ends up buying the painting, and hanging it in the office. Michael does a lot wrong, but he does a lot right too. Just when you’re feeling like a Michael Scott, remember what a great friend he is and what a great friend you are too.

Michael Scott is the most outrageous character that exists, but I can’t help but find him to be so relatable.

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.
