It's the most glorious time of day. It is officially closing time.

Any employee can relate to that feeling you get when you check the time and see that it is closing time. Some people have to fight the urge to run around, singing and dancing, because they're just so happy. Then, there are those who continue to work until the last possible second and finally leave.

Andy Bernard from "The Office" understood how to shut an office down the right way, especially when he made everyone sing along to "Closing Time."

Now, of course not every office can be that cool, but we've all experienced at least one of these feels when it was closing time.

1. It’s time to go home. *throws papers up in the air*

Giphy

Everyone stop what you're doing. Toss your work aside. It's time to go.

2. Hello customers, we are CLOSED. Please leave.

Giphy

Do you see the time? We are closed. Turn around.

3. Thank goodness I don’t have to smile like an idiot anymore.

Giphy

I can finally wipe this smile off my face that has been here since this morning. Can you tell it's totally fake by now?

4. At the end of the day, the smile just turns into an awkward grimace.

Giphy

I feel that this smile has become deformed. I hope I haven't scared anyone.

5. We can run around like crazy people because we are CLOSED.

Giphy

Turn the music up!

6. Why am I the only one who is happy about closing time?

Giphy

No one seems to be excited, like me... I wonder why.

7. After work, you get to be a totally different person.

Giphy

You can be anyone you want because it is closing time.

8. Everyone, HURRY. I was done hours ago.

Giphy

I know it's not a contest, but I'm just always done first. Maybe others just drag their work out.

9. I’m so tired of hearing people speak.

Giphy

If another person talks to me about work, I might just snap.

10. Let’s reflect on the day. I think it went well.

Giphy

I think it was a pretty productive day, don't you?

11. Did the phone just ring? Do NOT answer it.

Giphy

Don't touch that phone. We are closed.

12. Is it bad that I’m always the first one out the door?

Giphy

It's not that I have to be first. I'm just always ready to go.

13. Peace out. I’m out of here.

Giphy

It has been real, guys. It's time say goodbye and goodnight.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
