Working sucks, but having money to spend it great(we can all agree). I enjoy working because I appreciate when that direct deposit hits randomly and my overall amount in my bank goes up. Now that is a joyous feeling that almost nothing compares to. Furthermore, whether you work over summer break and attend classes the rest of the year, like I do, or you work all year and go to school, you can relate to this laundry list of complaints and thoughts you have while on the job.



1. "Only one more hour of freedom."

2. "I really need to start getting out of bed and get dressed."


3. "Oh no. I still have to drive there."

4. "This traffic sucks. I think I might quit. Might."

5. "Omg, Dan totally parked in my spot that I ALWAYS park in."

6. "So, like, how many hours do I have left?"

7. "Only like six hours left, and I haven't even walked in yet."

8. "Oh no, the boss is walking towards me, LOOK BUSY!"

9. "Phew. She only wanted to tell me I was doing a great job."

10. "Wait. She's still talking to me. Now she's giving me a list of things-to-do."

11. "Wow. Okay. I'll be here late, again."

12. "No! It's only been 45 minutes."

13. "I hate these dumb uniforms."

14. "Did I feed the dog that I'm dog sitting? I'm only doing that to make extra cash because this job pays me nothing."

15. "How many hours of my life have I dedicated to this job?"

16. "I wish I could be in Spain. Or Italy. Or Greece. Where is my travel abroad experience?"

17. "Oh, look. Only two hours left. Okay, so that's like four 30-minute sessions at the gym."

18. "Will I even be able to contemplate going to the gym after this shift?"

19. "I wonder if all my friends are having fun not working and hanging out with each other."

20. "How come Jared gets to go home early? What has he done that deserves this amazing opportunity?"

21. "Maybe I should ask for some time off. I know I just started working a week ago, but work life is stressful."

22. "Yes, 20 minutes left. Power through."

23. "Okay, Jan. We get it, you had a GREAT time on your spring break trip. Now please walk away."

24. "YAY! I'm free at last!"

25. *gets into car* "Damn. I left my phone charger there…Nope, we are going home. Not worth it."

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.
