There is nothing like coming home after a long, stressful day of school, eating as much food as I want, and then crashing on the couch to watch Community, The Office, Parks & Rec, and 30 Rock. These shows are clever and witty when I'm too tired to say anything more coherent than, "Ehhhh." I've loved following these TV shows as they've developed, and tonight, as Michael Scott said goodbye to The Office, my eyes were more than a little moist. Perhaps it's silly, but I couldn't help but feel that I was watching history in the making as his plane took off for Colorado. It's cheesy, I know, but it just seemed to parallel my soon-to-be college journey all too well (something that's actually been concerning me a lot lately). Fortunately, April and Andy's newlywed antics were more than able to remedy my anxiety and stress - after all, what can't a marshmallow shooter fix? - while 30 Rock reassured me that I'm not the only once concerned with change (more specifically, mortality). After all, sometimes you can't control life. Sometimes that plastic bag stuck in the tree right outside your window is going to taunt you, and sometimes your wife is going to be captured by a North Korean dictator. That's just life.
Thank god for the little things that are within our reach. Namely, the remote control.
