So, when's lunch?

1. "I have no clue what to wear. What do I bring? How early do I get there?"

We all dress business casual on the first day, and show up and see everyone else wearing jeans and a sweatshirt.

2. "I have no clue where ANYTHING is on this computer!"

Getting your own computer is great, but not when you have no clue where all the files are.

3. "Ugh, I'm hungry."

Two hours in and you already ate all the snacks you brought.

4. "I can't lift this huge package."

In charge of getting the mail, not in charge of breaking your back trying to carry it into the office.

5. "Just a quick 5 minute break so I can watch all my Snapchat stories and see everyone on vacation."

You just need a quick break to see everyone on vacation in the Bahamas and having a great summer, while it's 60 degrees and raining where you are, and you're stuck in a small office.

6. "I'm glad it's not nice out so I don't feel as bad that I'm stuck in here."

At least you're inside since it's raining, even though your bed is a much better place to be.

7. "Thank the Lord. I'm finally finished with this project."

It only took you 30 minutes more than it should because one little thing was messed up, and the customer was asking questions you have no clue what the answer is.

8. "So, when's lunch?"

It's noon and the others still haven't had a lunch break. Your stomach is starting to eat itself at this point.

9. "Why is this not opening?"

Who saved this file in the completely wrong format?

10. "Dang, out of coffee."

And you didn't bring anything else to drink. Guess you'll have to be thirsty the rest of the day.

11."How am I going to get used to getting up early. I need a nap!"

You question how you ever got up early in high school, because your college classes didn't start everyday until noon.

12. "My eyes hurt from looking at this computer screen for 7 hours straight."

Not sure if your eyeballs are going to fall out or if you really need a quick nap, or both.

13. "If one more person calls 2 minutes before closing, I swear."

Please don't call right before close. You had all day and now that I'm done for the day, I wanna leave.

14. "Must. Get. Home. ASAP."


Mom is making dinner and this traffic is a no go.

15. "My bed is sooooo much better than that office chair."

You realize that it's only Monday, but are grateful for the opportunities and the money you are making.

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.

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.
