With the holidays right around the corner, here are some of my personal thoughts that I've had while working retail during the holiday full of deals and savings.

1. "It's beginning to look a lot like-OH MY GOD PUT IT DOWN ARE YOU SERIOUS I JUST FOLDED THAT"

2. "I am absolutely exhausted"

3. "This mall needs more parking spaces, NOT ANOTHER STORE THANK YOU."

4. "Whoever brought lasagna in the break room is my absolute hero."

5. "Caffeine. Where is it."

6. "Yes PLEASE throw the clothes all over the floor. I totally didn't spend a half hour folding them and making them look all cute."

7. "Miss, we are all exhausted here. Your attitude towards the only person who can make this checking out process quicker is not in your best interest."

8. "STOP SINGING PLEASE STOP SINGING."

9. *Resists urge to put an "Out of Order" sign on every single dressing room.*

10. *Totally puts an "Out of Order" sign on every single dressing room.*

11. "No miss, the 'fifty percent off your entire purchase' coupon does not work with other Black Friday deals."

12. "No I will not call my manager to the front. She's probably crying in the back, which is what I will be doing soon if you don't leave the store."

13. "I totally just saw you throw your trash on the ground."

14. "DO NOT TOUCH THE STORE DECORATIONS."

15. "Did I seriously just watch a grown woman steal a shirt out of a toddlers hands."

16. "Oh awesome, now we have a crying baby in the store."

17. "Same, little dude, same."

18. "When is my break. Seriously, when is my break."

19. "Mister, I don't have enough coffee in my system to deal with your whining nine year old."

20. "WHY IS YOUR NINE YEAR OLD AT THE MALL AT SIX AM."

21. "MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHY AM I AT THE MALL AT SIX AM."

22. "Oh yeah, I get a paycheck."

23. "No miss, I do not get paid extra for working on Black Friday. I just get to hate myself a little more than I already do."

24. "NO THE DRESSING ROOMS ARE NOT WORKING RIGHT NOW. NO I WILL NOT GET YOU ONE."

25. "LOL JK my boss is right there, this way please."

26. "This headset is beeping a lot."

27. "This headset is dead."

28. "It's kinda nice not hearing everyone."

29. "But if I go and change it out... I can eat the food in the backroom."

30. *Moves at ultrasonic speed towards the break room.*

31. "Okay much better, I only needed a little bit of coff-OH MY GOD THE LINE IS OUT THE DOOR."

32. "Our store isn't even having a good deal WHY IS THIS HAPPENING."

33. "THESE ARE THE SAME DISCOUNTS THAT WE HAD DURING BACK TO SCHOOL."

34. "Wait what time is it. Can I leave? OH MY GOD I CAN LEAVE."

35. "Adios everyone, I'm going to go try to get out of the parking lot for the next century."

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.
