An Ode To The Office Job

Everyone's favorite work

An Ode To The Office Job

Oh office, sweet office,

Home away from home

I may be a novice

But from you I'll never roam


There is something so fun

About this swivel chair

Getting taller, getting smaller,

Spinning with the breeze in my hair


The keyboard is my piano

That click-clack of the keys

This is my instrument that I play

I'm the new Debussey


The odor of the printer

Is something fresh and sweet

The fresh warm printed paper

Is my favorite weekday treat


There is no company I'd rather have

Than that of my fellow employees

We chat about love, and lack thereof

And share our secret recipes


The dresscode is my bible

I follow it to a T

There is no better feeling

Than to be clad in fresh kakhis


The meeting room is holy ground

Where we break off in teams

And plan to increase work efficiency

By ignoring our hopes and dreams


My exercise goals are secondary

But I am on a mission

My Fitbit gets no action--

Sitting is my one position


When Friday comes, it's a funeral march

We all dress in black

And mourn the day and kneel and pray

That we can soon come back

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
