Some weeks finding something to write about is extremely hard and this week is one of those weeks. I have decided to make a post about something that I have found entertaining during the last couple of days: The Washington Post's Tumblr page. Most specifically their "Overheard at the Washington Post" section. So to my editor: please don't fire me, and here are a few of my favorite quotes and posts that have been overheard at one of America's biggest Newspapers.

Also, if the titles aren't really funny it's because I came up with them.

1. Napping like a champ

“Any room is a nap room if you try hard enough.”

— Overheard at The Washington Post


2. The worst kind of letdown

“I walked into work feeling like Beyoncé. And then work started and I remembered I’m not Beyoncé, I’m Michelle.”

— Overheard at The Washington Post


3. This post is amazeballs

“Can we use ‘amazeballs’ in a blog?”

— Overheard at The Washington Post


4. Someone can't see or listen anymore

“If I have to listen in on one more debate about Taylor and Kanye I think I might pull my ears off. Or my eyes.”

9. Overheard at the Hogwarts Great Hall

10. Every college student ever

“I’m going to cry 1,000 tears about it when I have time later.”

11. Also every college student ever

“I’d be crying at my desk. Also, planning and working hard. Those usually go together.”

12. someone who spent too much time on Tumblr

"Journalist 1: Do you tweet on Twitter?

Journalist 2: Do you Instagram on Instagram?

Journalist 3: Do you Google on Google?"

13. Someone's worst day ever

“Coffee is not going to help today.”

Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide.
