I Thought Summer Was About Hanging Out With Friends, But All I Do Is Work Work Work

In This Article:

Lately, I've been working so much that I barely have time for other things. Sometimes you're just too tired to go out on your day off that you spend it sleeping all day. And it sucks because your friends are doing all these fun plans without you, but you can't do anything about it because you're working. I tell myself that I will have so much money soon, but sometimes I question if it's worth it.

One thing I hate about working all the time is the lack of sleep I get. I work at night, and sometimes I don't get off until one in the morning. By the time I get home, it's two a.m. By the time I actually go to sleep, it's three a.m. I wish I could sleep in. I have to go to the gym and do other commitments like summer school or Odyssey business. Next thing I know I have to get ready for work. I barely slept.

Also, even though I tell myself I'm going to the gym, it almost never happens because I end up sleeping in. Lately, I haven't been going to the gym, and I feel terrible about myself. I'm not in shape, and now it's been two weeks since I've been at the gym! Tomorrow I'm going to start going earlier in the morning.

Another thing that blows is missing all of the fun stuff your friends are doing without you. They're going to Disneyland, to the movies, and to the beach. I wish I had time to do all those things with them, but I can't because I'm working. Sometimes they can't do anything on my day off because they're working that day. Not everybody is available the same day which sucks. I want to go to Disneyland, too.

Working is great because you're earning all this money, but at the end of the day, you're not having fun. You're wishing that you were out with your friends. You're wishing you were sleeping. You're wishing you were somewhere else. Sometimes you have to make a little sacrifice to make money.

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.
