An Ode To The Office Job

Everyone's favorite work

An Ode To The Office Job

Oh office, sweet office,

Home away from home

I may be a novice

But from you I'll never roam


There is something so fun

About this swivel chair

Getting taller, getting smaller,

Spinning with the breeze in my hair


The keyboard is my piano

That click-clack of the keys

This is my instrument that I play

I'm the new Debussey


The odor of the printer

Is something fresh and sweet

The fresh warm printed paper

Is my favorite weekday treat


There is no company I'd rather have

Than that of my fellow employees

We chat about love, and lack thereof

And share our secret recipes


The dresscode is my bible

I follow it to a T

There is no better feeling

Than to be clad in fresh kakhis


The meeting room is holy ground

Where we break off in teams

And plan to increase work efficiency

By ignoring our hopes and dreams


My exercise goals are secondary

But I am on a mission

My Fitbit gets no action--

Sitting is my one position


When Friday comes, it's a funeral march

We all dress in black

And mourn the day and kneel and pray

That we can soon come back

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
