Why Black Friday should bring on the plague.

The Chaos Of Holiday Shopping, As Told By 'The Office'
Odyssey

Two of America's favorite things: The Office and Black Friday Shopping. Here's what happens when you combine the two things and have the cast of the famous television show describe the feelings we all get when trying to score some deals.

1. When the doors finally open after you have been waiting in the cold for hours.


2. When you walk into the store and see all of the people.

3. When you overhear someone talk about the shirt you just grabbed, knowing that you took the last one off the shelf.

4. When you go to a specific store for a deal that they have but once you get there you see that they're sold out of it.

5. When you walk out of the store with $200 less in your pocket than what you started with.

6. When you realize that you're an adult now so you have to start buying gifts for everyone you know.

7. When you have to wait in the line for checkout, knowing that there are other stores you have to go to that are selling out of items as you just stand there.

8. When you look at all the money you saved on the receipt.

9. When you can't find a parking spot so you have to park all the way out in Timbuktu and walk.

10. And finally that moment when you finally get home and sit on your couch and realize the hell you just went through to get one sweatshirt for $15.

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.
