1. Rihanna's "Work" is your summer anthem. And you've grown pretty accustomed to it, too.

2. All of your friends are partying at the beach.

3. And you have no tan.

4. But at least you make that money.

5. You can finally relate to your mom's complaints of long and hard days at work... And then you proceed to pass out on your bed as soon as you get home.

6. You know more about your coworkers than you want to.

7. All of your SnapChat stories are of coffee and work. And sometimes a selfie with your bestie at the workplace. But usually, it's your coffee.

8. You only see your friends when they meet you for a bite to eat during your lunch break.

9. The only clothes you wear are work clothes. No cute summer shorts for you! And when you get home, the first thing you do is put on your favorite pair of sweatpants.

10. You become used to hearing your coworker's life story about 70 times a week. You also get used to pretending like you care.

11. You learn how to deal with rude people.

12. You measure the value of something in hours of work. Is that top really worth four and a half hours of faxing papers...?

13. Tears of joy when you can clock out early!

14. Friends: "Don't you feel overworked? Can you just take a break?" Me: *rolls eyes*

15. In the end, you learn a lot about life and you feel like you're making a contribution to society. So give yourself a pat on the back- you deserve it!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
