You never fully expect the end of something, even if you know it's coming. It can be so subtle that you don't get the closure you need to move on. In such a difficult time, your emotions seem jumbled and confused. You may think you're alone, but you're not. We've all be there.


1. Denial

The first stage of grief is denial. Denial occurs when you are unable to deal with the grief that surrounds you. You tell yourself that there's no way the show you spent three months of your life on can already be over. It just can't be. There's no way the show would end like that. There's no way it's just over.


2. Anger

After denial comes anger. How could the show deliberately allow you to become so emotionally attached, and then just end it like your feelings meant nothing? I mean, don't the writers care about their fans at all? You convince yourself that it was their fault. They were the ones that were too lazy to write more seasons.


3. Bargaining

During the bargaining stage, you begin to wonder how you could persuade the writers to continue the show. You think maybe if you could get enough people to come together in support, they would have to continue it. If that's not enough, you could always sell your left kidney on the black market to raise the money. You only need one to lead a normal life anyway.


4. Depression

In your darkest days of mourning, you enter the depression stage. You tell yourself that you'll never be okay again. You spend your days in your bed binge eating french fries and wallowing in your sorrows. You're convinced that your life is basically over.


5. Acceptance

Eventually, you can find it in your heart to accept the tragedy that affected you so immensely. It's always darkest before dawn. You know that your favorite characters would want you to be happy. You may never be able to love a show as much as you loved that one, but it's okay to get back out there. It's time to move on to bigger and better things. As Michael Scott would say, "That's what she said!"

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.
