Here's a fun fact for you: the average person has between 12,000 - 60,000 thoughts per day. That's a lot of thinking, so most of them are likely subconscious nonsense we'd never admit aloud. In honor of these thoughts, here's your collection of top shower thoughts from this week; the musings of the average Joe, the philosophical insights of this generation.

Its genius lies in the way we get to know and fall in love with the characters and their idiosyncrasies as the show progresses. From Jim and Dwight's constant pranking to Michael's compulsive need to be adored by everyone, the characters and their interactions are understandable and relatable to the masses. 

But most of all, I think the show is about the complex pursuit of love. "The Office" shows us just how painful but beautiful it can be to find and maintain true, lasting love.
