Some weeks finding something to write about is extremely hard and this week is one of those weeks. I have decided to make a post about something that I have found entertaining during the last couple of days: The Washington Post's Tumblr page. Most specifically their "Overheard at the Washington Post" section. So to my editor: please don't fire me, and here are a few of my favorite quotes and posts that have been overheard at one of America's biggest Newspapers.

Also, if the titles aren't really funny it's because I came up with them.

1. Napping like a champ

“Any room is a nap room if you try hard enough.”

— Overheard at The Washington Post


2. The worst kind of letdown

“I walked into work feeling like Beyoncé. And then work started and I remembered I’m not Beyoncé, I’m Michelle.”

— Overheard at The Washington Post


3. This post is amazeballs

“Can we use ‘amazeballs’ in a blog?”

— Overheard at The Washington Post


4. Someone can't see or listen anymore

“If I have to listen in on one more debate about Taylor and Kanye I think I might pull my ears off. Or my eyes.”

— Overheard at The Washington Post


5. My new Twitter bio

“I’m used to awkward things. That’s like my whole life. Awkward things.”

— Overheard at The Washington Post


6. When you get to not socialize for a day

“Today is the first day I’ve only wanted to punch someone once.”

— Overheard at The Washington Post


7. When you've been online for too long

“How do you log off being alive?”

— Overheard at The Washington Post


8. This! 100%

“I love takedowns of overhyped hipsterdom. I say this as someone who regularly gets tricked by hipster nonsense because I’m simple.”

— Overheard at The Washington Post


9. Overheard at the Hogwarts Great Hall

“The Internet is a trash basilisk and you should never look directly into its eyes.”

— Overheard at The Washington Post


10. Every college student ever

“I’m going to cry 1,000 tears about it when I have time later.”

— Overheard at The Washington Post


11. Also every college student ever

“I’d be crying at my desk. Also, planning and working hard. Those usually go together.”

— Overheard at The Washington Post


12. someone who spent too much time on Tumblr

"Journalist 1: Do you tweet on Twitter?

Journalist 2: Do you Instagram on Instagram?

Journalist 3: Do you Google on Google?"

13. Someone's worst day ever

“Coffee is not going to help today.”

— Overheard at The Washington Post

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.
