Summer is the time for family, and vacations. But sometimes you still have to go to work. But if you're like me, you know that you can count on your impending vacation to get you through your last shift.

1. Can I just leave?

Giphy

I just got here...but I'd so rather be on vacation.

2. Is it time to leave yet?

Giphy

No? Oh...okay. I'll check again in five minutes.

3. I've been here FORVER!

I could literally die here.

4. Oh wait, it's only been 5 minutes.

Giphy

Why do I keep doing this to myself?

5. Maybe I'll just glance at the clock...

It has to be closer to time to leave, right?

6. Nope. It's still 5:05.

Giphy

Slowest... Shift... Ever...

7. Only.... three hours and 55 minutes till vacation!

Giphy

Count down powers activate!

8. If the power goes out right now I can leave, right?

Giphy

Snip snip!

9. Maybe they'll send me home early!

Giphy

One can hope.

10. Can I non-fatally injure myself and leave?

Giphy

Hmm... Maybe not.

11. What time is it now?

Maybe it'll be time to leave! I'll check.

12. Only three hours and 50 minutes till vacation!

Giphy

We're doing great guys.

13. Do I have a good playlist ready?

Giphy

It's very important to jam on the trip. More important than this shift probably.

14. Did I pack everything I need?

Giphy

Did I bring the cute sweater I bought from Target? Did I pack enough towels? What about makeup?

15. I'll just repack once I get home...

Giphy

Better safe than sorry!

16. Okay... Maybe I should pay attention to my work now?

We'll see what happens?

17. I can't wait to leave..

Giphy

I just wanna go.

18. Maybe it's time to go now!

Giphy

I'll go check!

19. Nope.

It's been 20 minutes. Why is time stopped??

20. Can't I just go already?

I mean... Am I really necessary?

21. I want to go spend time not here...

c1.staticflickr.com

Like, please? Send me home.

22. My vacation is gonna be so nice...

Giphy

I can see it now.

23. I can't wait to relax!

Giphy

I runaround here like a chicken with my head cut off half the time, so it'll be great to not do that for a day or two.

24. I hope this place burns down while I'm gone...

Giphy

I mean... I'd get an extended vacation! It's gonna be great.

25. #PermanantVacation?

I could quit and then I'd be stress free for at least two weeks... But money is nice... Maybe I shouldn't quit.

26. If someone dies right now, we could close.

Giphy

Who wants to take one for the team??

27. Who wants to try me, I'll do it for my vacation.

Giphy

#WorthIt

28. I'm SO gonna miss dealing with customers.

Giphy

Not!

29. Can I just get paid to stay away from here?

Dreams can come true sometimes, right?

30. It's time to GO!

Giphy

Time to leave! Vacation is here! No more work talk, I will block your numbers.

Work is a necessary part of life. But vacations are also necessary. Don't forget to relax sometimes.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
