Buzzfeed quizzes: they are the conquerors of boredom. With nothing else to do and a friend asking me what my results were, I took the “Which Character From ‘The Office’ Are You?” quiz. I excitedly awaited my results after I answered the last question and… I got Michael Scott. I won’t lie I was a little disappointed, but he has some relatable traits. Some of those traits I see in others too: in fact, like everyone. Below are my findings.


1. Thinking about the future compared to your current situation…


“Yes. Money has been a little bit tight lately, but at the end of my life, when I'm sitting on my yacht, am I gonna be thinking about how much money I have? No. I'm gonna be thinking about how many friends I have and my children and my comedy albums.”


2. Visiting parents when you have no food…


“I was never in this for the money. But it turns out that the money was an absolute necessity for me.”


3. Watching scary movies or hearing ghost stories…


“I'm not superstitious, but I am a little stitious.”

4. When you try to make friends…


“Do I need to be liked? Absolutely not. I like to be liked. I enjoy being liked. I have to be liked, but it's not like this compulsive need to be liked, like my need to be praised.”


5. When you’re trying to get out of something…


Michael Scott: “Wish I could, but I can't. Well, can, but won't. Should, maybe, but shorn't.”

Kevin Malone: “Michael, please...”

Michael Scott: “What part of ‘shorn't’ don't you understand, Kevin?”


6. When you see your crush…


Michael Scott: “...for Holly. And I'm looking for perfect songs that work on two levels.”

Jim Halpert: “What are the two levels?”

Michael Scott: “The two levels being, ‘Welcome to Scranton’ and ‘I love you.’”


7. Any time someone doubts you…


“Yeah, well, maybe next time you will estimate me.”


8. How you justify procrastination…


“I can spend all day on a project, and he will finish the same project in half an hour. So that should tell you something.”

9. When something goes wrong and you frantically try to fix it…


“And I knew exactly what to do. But in a much more real sense, I had no idea what to do.”


10. #RelationshipGoals…


“Would I rather be feared or loved? Easy. Both. I want people to be afraid of how much they love me.”

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
