#WomanCrushWednesday: Mindy Kaling

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UFL chapter.

Somehow, Mindy Kaling and her on-screen personas of Kelly Kapoor from The Office and Mindy Lahiri from The Mindy Project have the guts to say everything we wish we could. Super relatable, witty and an all-around hilarious writer, everything she says manages to be quote-worthy gold. Here are just a couple of the innumerable instances when the fabulous Ms. Kaling won our hearts.

She understands the struggle of dealing with kids.

And the careful diplomacy of texting…

She’s mastered the art of passive aggressiveness to perfection.

Tina Fey speaks to her on the same spiritual level as the rest of us.

She knows chocolate is the ultimate crowd-pleaser.

She understands the struggle of timeliness…

She’s not afraid of telling it like it is.

She has killer confidence.

But despite it all, she has her moments of existential crises like the rest of us.

When it comes down to it, we all have a case of the Mindy fever.
