Fridays At The Office According To 'The Office'

You made it. After a grueling five days of staring at your computer screen, spinning in circles on your chair for sheer entertainment and counting down each and every minute before you and your co-workers take lunch, you've made it. Thank you sweet baby Jesus. Close that laptop, push in your chair (ha, or don't) and peace the heck out of the office -- it's Friday. Please enjoy my depiction of Fridays at the office according to the greatest television series ever created.

You roll up to work in an above average mood than usual! It is Friday: the day of the week where dreams come true. You make fake small talk with your less than pleasant co-workers and pretend you don't despise them.


The feeling only lasts so long and before your very eyes, mounds of work are plopped on you desk! You are massively distressed by what your work day will consist of.


You get back to your desk after a long lunch filled with mindless chatter regarding weekend plans and how badly you want to go home. Yes, we get it, we all want to start our weekends! You open back up whatever you were working on before lunch, but you know you'll be useless post-lunch.


You get an animated email about some super fun company function occurring this weekend. BBQ and corn hole with people I see 40+ hours a week?! How about no.


You see the office suck-up knock on your boss's door to wish them a wonderful weekend! Ugh, gag.


But, you don't care because it's finally 5 p.m. and you're half way out the door before anyone can say "See you Monday!"


Congrats on another week down, friends! Spend your two days off wisely because Monday will come around before you know it. Oh, and always remember the light at the end of the tunnel (Friday, I am referring to Friday).

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.
