What I learned about “Hot Girl” via Office Ladies

If you are an Office fan who hasn't listened to "Office Ladies" yet – where have you been? Luckily, this podcast, hosted by Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey (Pam and Angela on The Office) is only about a month old, so it's still currently easy to binge and catch up. Luckily, I happened to be browsing for more podcasts the day of it's release and have loyally been listening every Wednesday at work since.

This week's episode focuses on the last episode of season one, "Hot Girl." The podcast's format in general goes with a summary of an episode, fast facts relating to behind the scenes/filming, and fan questions. Occasionally, there are special guests.One of the said fast facts include the fact that Mindy Kaling, who plays Kelly Kapoor on the show, wrote it – and it was the first out of the 22 episodes she proceeded to write. She includes inspiration from her personal life – like her love for McDonalds, specifically Filet-O-Fish, in a joke about Michael ordering an obscene amount, which he claims is over a month. An episode in a much later season, also written by her, has a call back to this joke.

The "Hot Girl" episode was directed by Amy Heckerling, her other director credits include "Clueless" and "Fast Times at Richmond High." Despite this female leadership, the two podcast hosts still regard it as the cringiest episode of the season. Even though the actresses did not take any of the overtly sexist jokes personally – they instead view it as a chance to grow in the profession.

One of the most iconic lines of the episode is Angela stating her favorite colors: "grey, dark grey, charcoal." This line was completely improvised, as actress Angela Kinsey and guest star Amy Adams were told to "just banter," not knowing if the scene would even make the final episode. The original written script was hitting 39 minutes of run time.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
