10 Things I Want To Do on My Days Off
Pexel

When I get days off of work, people think I want to hang out and 9 times out of 10 they're wrong. I have a list of things I want to do on my days off. No offense to my friends who I only see once or twice every month.

1. Housework.

Sadly, yes. I have stuff at home that needs done because more likely than not I've already held it off as long as I possibly could and would want to. Housework is always first on my list.

2. Rewatch Supernatural.

Even though I have seen every episode at least four times, I love traveling the US with Sam and Dean fighting demons and monsters and love* having my heart broken over and over due to the writers killing off everyone I love. *Note sarcasm. It's just a show I can't stop watching.

3. Catch Up on YouTube Videos

As someone who loves watching YouTube, for the gamers, I try to keep up with the videos and content they upload for my own entertainment. I mean, I could watch them later, but I could easily watch four hours worth of videos from Crankgameplays and not notice.

4. Sleep.

No amount of sleep is ever enough, so why should I limit myself to only sleeping at night?

5. Watch movies with my family

Even though we usually only watch the same five movies on repeat, I love spending time with them as much as I can.

6. Read a book.

I have an entire bookshelf full of books that I want to eventually read. Although I tend to lean towards Harry Potter and Sherlock Holmes more than anything else, I will eventually get to the rest of my bookshelf.

7. Start a new tv series

I feel like there are so many tv series out there that I would find interesting. For example, I've heard a lot of good things about The Officeand Park and Rec. So maybe I'll find interest in them.

8. Sit on my couch and scroll through social media

I'll be the first to admit that I have a problem when it comes to social media. I need to see if anything interesting is happening. Whether it be from a pregnancy announcement, a proposal, or just people arguing, I'm really nosey and want to know about everything.

9. Learn a new language

For years I've been wanting to learn a new language and actually remember something out of it. (Shout out to those four years of taking Spanish and only remembering to ask to use the bathroom). So, why not start on my day off?

10. Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

On my days off I just want to sit at home and do absolutely nothing. More likely than not, I would just lay in bed and do nothing, and I'm 100% okay with that. Who wouldn't be?

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.
