What Happens When You Have the Day Off

The perfect time to relax and catch up with friends

It is a blessing when you finally have the day off from your many jobs that you have this summer. It is the perfect opportunity to take a break out of your busy schedule to remember that you are still a human being. For at least a day, you don’t have to deal with bipolar customers or answer any phones from companies. I think that many of us will agree with these things that we tend to do when you finally have the day off.

Sleeping in

Now is the perfect chance to catch up on the sleep that you don’t have. You don’t remember the last time that you slept in so it may come as a shock to you. Unfortunately, your body might not be used to sleeping in until 12 p.m. like you used to so instead you find yourself waking up at 7 or 8 a.m. when trying to sleep in. Just lying in bed for a couple of hours is worth it at least.

Binge watching shows

Since you never really found the time, now you can watch the shows that you missed or have been waiting to see. You can finally catch up on the "Game of Thrones" episodes you missed even though it has already been spoiled for you many times on social media. You can also watch the new season of "Orange is the New Black" and make it a whole day event.

Eat decent food

Instead of being starving at your job and watching the clock until it is finally break or lunch time, you can now eat whenever you want. This means endless Dunkin runs and being able go to restaurants for lunch or dinner. My favorite food is usually breakfast foods so going out for breakfast is the best way to start off your day when your off from work.

Hang out with friends

Did you forget that you have a social life? This usually happens when you become a workaholic. Now you finally have the chance to catch up with your friends and seeing if anything interesting happened while you were gone. It’s always good to see your friends cause they will always keep you grounded and sane in your life.

Stay up late

You don’t have work the next day so there is no need to set the ten million alarms on your phone! You don’t have to worry about getting up early by attempting to go to bed early. Instead you can stay up as late as you want like the rebel you are. However, I usually get excited about staying up late but end up going to sleep early anyway.

Enjoying summer

Summer will not last forever so it is important that you enjoy it while it lasts. Even though it may not be easy working a lot during the summer, it will pay off with the money you make which will be all spent on your days off and vacations. Enjoy your days off and enjoy your summer!

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.
