Things I Want: A new laptop, I want to take a vacation, I want a personal library, I want a walk-in closet, I want a new car, I want to learn how to paint, I want to live abroad.

The Jury Is Still On: How effective are dieting methods, Is social media really good for mental health, is working from home more effective than going to the office, is taking cold showers better than hot ones, how well is the skincare routine effective on my skin or should I invest in more expensive brands for skincare.

Things that Bother Me:  When people don't say excuse me, when I don't get personal space, people interrupt me when I'm talking, ads on a website or YouTube, when someone bumps into you and doesn't say sorry, people talking loud in a library, slow walkers, loud chewing, people cutting in line.

Both shows, The Office and Modern Family, are sitcoms that use a style of mockumentary-style filming. Creating scenes where characters talk about their feelings and reactions to different scenarios. Both shows use humor to make the audience intrigued, they also often exaggerate the characters' personalities, showing different types of scenarios that viewers can relate to. Both shows have group relationships that are the main focus of the show and how their everyday lifestyle and work environment end up going at the end of the day. Additionally, the two shows showcase humor and heartfelt moments, bringing comedy and emotional feelings to the show. 

While both shows are set in mockumentary-style filming, the two take place in different scenes and environments, The Office takes place in a workplace corporate environment focusing on the lives of the employees in the company. Often, they use humor that is deemed cringeworthy, dry, and awkward. The main character, Micheal Scott, does most of the comedy in The Office. On the other hand, Modern Family revolves around the lives of three families and is focused on family dynamics and family relationships. The humor in Modern Family is a traditional sitcom tone, and the family members, particularly characters like Phil Dunphy, are often portrayed as well-meaning but goofy in a way that creates an endearing vibe. Additionally, Modern Family has a lighter tone, illustrating the complexities of family life while lovingly and acceptingly embracing each character's flaws, in contrast to The Office, which has a tendency to be more cynical and frequently features characters making commentary on the ridiculousness of corporate life.
