We all slip up sometimes at work and say something inappropriate to our employers. But just how badly do we do that? If you're concerned about crossing the line with the man or woman who signs your paycheck, here are a few things that you should definitely avoid saying.

1."Can I borrow 20 bucks?"

2."Sorry I was late to work, I was taking a massive dump"

3."Is it okay if I smoke in here? I always thought the 'No smoking' signs were just suggestions"

4."I feel like our lives would be a lot easier if we just openly recognized the chemistry we have here."

5."I was really thinking about not coming into work today, but then I realized how badly I needed the money."

6."You're actually kind of alright. Everybody said you were a huge douche bag when I started working here."

7."I really hate my job"

8."Do you have a lighter?"

9."Is there another department here that you don't run?"

10. "Are you married?"

11. "I know someone I could totally set you up with."

12. "Are you sure you want to eat that...you know what it does to you."

13. "Did I see you at that Weight Watchers meeting last night?"

14. "I don't get paid enough to do that."

15. "What's the Wi-Fi password?"

16. "I think you'd be a lot more relaxed if you got laid."

17. "You'd look so much better if you got a nose job."

18. "How long do I have to work here before I can take my vacation days?"

19. "Are you on your period? Because you seem kind of cranky today."

20. "Can I have your number?"

21. "I'm new in town, do you know any good drug dealers around here?"

22. “Honestly, I just really don’t care enough to pay attention to what you’re saying to me right now.”

23. "I love you."

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.
