Summer is the time for family, and vacations. But sometimes you still have to go to work. But if you're like me, you know that you can count on your impending vacation to get you through your last shift.

1. Can I just leave?

I just got here...but I'd so rather be on vacation.

2. Is it time to leave yet?

No? Oh...okay. I'll check again in five minutes.

3. I've been here FORVER!

I could literally die here.

4. Oh wait, it's only been 5 minutes.

Why do I keep doing this to myself?

5. Maybe I'll just glance at the clock...

It has to be closer to time to leave, right?

6. Nope. It's still 5:05.

Slowest... Shift... Ever...

7. Only.... three hours and 55 minutes till vacation!

Count down powers activate!

8. If the power goes out right now I can leave, right?

One can hope.

10. Can I non-fatally injure myself and leave?

Hmm... Maybe not.

11. What time is it now?

Maybe it'll be time to leave! I'll check.

12. Only three hours and 50 minutes till vacation!

We're doing great guys.

13. Do I have a good playlist ready?

It's very important to jam on the trip. More important than this shift probably.

14. Did I pack everything I need?

Did I bring the cute sweater I bought from Target? Did I pack enough towels? What about makeup?

15. I'll just repack once I get home...

Better safe than sorry!

16. Okay... Maybe I should pay attention to my work now?

We'll see what happens?

17. I can't wait to leave..

I just wanna go.

18. Maybe it's time to go now!

I'll go check!

19. Nope.

It's been 20 minutes. Why is time stopped??

20. Can't I just go already?

I mean... Am I really necessary?

21. I want to go spend time not here...

Like, please? Send me home.

22. My vacation is gonna be so nice...

I can see it now.

23. I can't wait to relax!

I runaround here like a chicken with my head cut off half the time, so it'll be great to not do that for a day or two.

24. I hope this place burns down while I'm gone...

Giphy

I mean... I'd get an extended vacation! It's gonna be great.

25. #PermanantVacation?

I could quit and then I'd be stress free for at least two weeks... But money is nice... Maybe I shouldn't quit.

26. If someone dies right now, we could close.

Giphy

Who wants to take one for the team??

27. Who wants to try me, I'll do it for my vacation.

#WorthIt

28. I'm SO gonna miss dealing with customers.

Not!

29. Can I just get paid to stay away from here?

Dreams can come true sometimes, right?

30. It's time to GO!

Time to leave! Vacation is here! No more work talk, I will block your numbers.

Work is a necessary part of life. But vacations are also necessary. Don't forget to relax sometimes.

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.

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.
