Growing up, my family cultivated a deep love for comedy on television. Whether it was Family Feud or The Bernie Mac Show, when we were together, the room was always filled with laughter. Shows like Bernie Mac and Modern Family introduced me to awkward silence humor, which eventually led to my obsession with The Office. But before The Office, I was (and still am) a huge fan of The Mindy Project. When I returned to The Office after taking a break following Season 1, I felt a renewed connection to the show. Seeing Mindy Kaling's creative brilliance in her own show, I knew I would love her work on The Office as well, especially since she wrote many of the episodes. Her character Kelly Kapoor is like my alter ego in so many ways—her spontaneous singing, infectious giddiness, unique fashion sense, and her ability to captivate (and sometimes trap) people with long-winded stories are traits I see in myself. Kelly's lack of a filter is what makes her a fan favorite, and I deeply resonate with her quote, “I talk a lot, so I’ve learned to just tune myself out,” a skill I know others have picked up when listening to my rants and stories. A close runner-up to Kelly would be Pam Beesly. Depending on the day, my demeanor at work might mirror Pam's more subdued energy. Like Pam, I sometimes struggle to catch jokes or sarcasm right away, and I have a hard time hiding my confusion when these interactions arise. Her overall awkwardness in conversations is something I also experience from time to time. The Office was my gateway to a love of long-running shows and movie franchises. The ability to grow alongside the characters is something I will always cherish in cinema. Discovering this show not only rekindled a sense of togetherness that I once shared with my family, but it also taught me that awkward and embarrassing moments are just a part of life—and they're something you can always find humor in.

If I had to choose a squad from the characters of Stranger Things, Dustin, Nancy, and El would be my top picks. Dustin is the perfect choice for logistics because he's the brains behind every operation, always thinking ahead and coming up with theories that are often spot on. His quick thinking and resourcefulness would ensure that our squad stays one step ahead of any challenge we face. He’s preciseness and intelligence is what truly makes him standout from the others in the squad. He's the glue that holds the group together with his clever ideas and unwavering optimism. Examples of this can be scene in all seasons; but my all time favorites is his discover of the Russians in Season 3, and later having to sing the Never Ending story to get mathematical equation to save the world. Nancy, on the other hand, brings a combination of strategy and strength to the table. She has repeatedly proven herself to be a powerhouse in the face of danger, never backing down from a challenge. With her sharp instincts and fearless determination, Nancy would be our go-to for planning and executing our missions. And, of course, there's El, whose unparalleled power and deep understanding of supernatural threats would make her an invaluable asset. Her abilities would not only protect us but also give us an edge over any enemy we might encounter. Together, Dustin, Nancy, and El would form an unstoppable team, each contributing their unique strengths to ensure our success.
