6 Reasons I Could Never Work A 9 To 5 Job

I was recently hired at my dad's work which is a custom office furniture company. It includes spending a lot of time at a computer and desk.

1. There's a LOT of sitting involved.

In high school and college, of course you sit a lot in classes. But at a job, it's on a whole other level. In classes you walk between transition periods. At work, you can walk to the bathroom, the break-room, and that's about it. I'm an extremely antsy person which is why this doesn't work for me and sitting still is difficult for me. I always have to be doing something.

2. Looking at a computer screen all day becomes a NIGHTMARE. 

It's honestly just the worst. It hurts your eyes and gives you unnecessary headaches. I'd just rather avoid the migraines all together.

3. It begins to hurt your muscles.

I think we all know that a sedentary lifestyle leads to more aches than there should be. After sitting at my desk chair and staring at a computer screen all day, my neck began to hurt. I was so confused. Then, I realized the cause.

4. There's not enough to do.

Of course there are multiple errands I have to run and whatnot, but other than I'm doing the same thing over and over. I don't get to go anywhere or see different things. I'm just stuck.

5. Sorting and organizing files begins to feel like a death sentence. 

Pretty self explanatory.

6. It's just plain boring.

I end up scrolling through my email and shopping online. I go down a hole of doing things I don't normally do.

Although I know 9 to 5 jobs are a necessary evil but who actually wants to do them? I'm sure some people love what they do and work in an office setting but for me, it's just not the move. Sometimes it's nice to just sit and relax in a desk chair but all the time I'm spending working here is driving me crazy. I'm tired, hungry, and bored. This is basically my rant of why I hate my job.

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.
