Dear "The Office,"

My Dearest show, "The Office,"

It's hard to believe that you are officially over.  The last 9 years just whirled on by!  Although I haven't watched you religiously for the last few seasons, you will always have a special place in my heart.

I have very fond memories of rushing home from classes in college to watch it with roommates, neighbors, and secret crushes,

Quoting one liners with friends,

Having the theme song as my ringtone,

Successfully using clips of episodes in several class presentations in my Anthropology classes (yep!),

Drooling over Jim,

Laughing hysterically and wincing during beautifully crafted and severely awkward scenes,

and even shedding some tears.

Last night's season finale reminded me of how much I love the show, and I feel like I now need to become a hermit and watch all the seasons over again starting from episode 1, season 1.

And I may or may not have teared up a little too watching the finale.  Don't judge.

With much fondness and love,

Me.
