Jim Halpert : The modern day Prince Charming.

I distinctly remember being twenty years old, in my sophomore year of college, and the beginning of my tumultuous relationship with Netflix Instant viewing. For some reason, I had never seen The Office US, but thank God one day I decided to start watching. My interest was sparked while sitting in on the opening of season four with a few of my dorm friends. Who is Dwight and why is he so strange? More importantly, is this the Jim and Pam couple I keep hearing about? I didn't quite understand why everyone had been obsessing over a couple that already seemed to be very much together. Until I took a step back, sat at my computer, and proceeded to watch seasons 1 through 3 a...disturbing amount of times. I'm not eager to know the exact number.

That's when I decided : Screw Prince Charming, where's my Jim Halpert?

Let me start by saying that Prince Charming and Jim Halpert have one thing in common : They are incredibly appealing and completely unattainable. Fictional, actually. Still that didn't stop me, a naive young adult from believing that maybe someday I'd meet someone while I was engaged to a complete douchebag, and he'd rescue me from this troubled relationship, making me laugh along the way. Oh, and of course we'd all work together.

However, I did end up having a guy put on a lovely Jim Halpert-esque front and pull me out of a failing relationship with my boyfriend of three and a half years, and we were all in the same group of friends. It was less fun than I thought it would be, especially when my Jim Halpert turned out to be a Grade A douchebag, but I suppose I've learned my lesson.

So here I am, really single for the first time ever, and twenty-three years old. Naturally I figured while I go around, meeting boys (they're not men yet), making mistakes, and drinking, I should probably write about it. This will give my girl friends a much needed break from my constant and probably quite aggravating rants and analyzing.

This should be fun.
