Summertime As Told By Michael Scott

Summer vacation is the time of the year every student daydreams about from August until May. It’s the time when the weather is warm, clothing is (mainly) optional, and school is just a distant memory. Put simply, summer vacation is the MOST EXCITING time of the year. So, who better to describe how the start of summer vacation feels than the most exciting character in television existence: Mr. Michael Scott of Dundler Mifflin.

1. The feeling of realizing your summer vacation has officially started.


2. And that means no school for three whole months.


3. You no longer have to set an alarm to wake yourself up at the buttcrack of dawn each morning.


4. The sun is always out to turn your pastiness into a beautifully sun-kissed complexion.


5. The temperatures climb so high you forget that five months ago it was cold enough to induce tears in your eyes as you walked across campus to class.


6. It's appropriate to spend your whole day on a boat.


7. You can eat ice cream all day, everyday.


8. Time to finally relax.


9. It's officially camping season.


10. Driving with the top down.

11. Getting in shape for that summer body.


12. Showing off your summer bod at the beach, lake, or pool.


13. Summer traveling since it's practically impossible to travel during the school year.


14. Getting to see your hometown friends and family.


15. When wedding season hits you hard.


16. But wedding dances are always a good time.


17. When you move back home and have to live under your parents' roof and rules once again.


18. When the 4th of July rolls around and fireworks are in your future.


19. When people think it's acceptable to ask you when you start school again.


20. When summer is finally coming to an end.


As you can see, Michael Scott truly understands what summer vacation is like for the typical student. There are certainly ups and downs to the summertime season. The next three months certainly seem to go by faster than most would like, so soak up every second of it. Happy summer!

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.
