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.”

— Overheard at The Washington Post


5. My new Twitter bio

“I’m used to awkward things. That’s like my whole life. Awkward things.”

— Overheard at The Washington Post


6. When you get to not socialize for a day

“Today is the first day I’ve only wanted to punch someone once.”

— Overheard at The Washington Post


7. When you've been online for too long

“How do you log off being alive?”

— Overheard at The Washington Post


8. This! 100%

“I love takedowns of overhyped hipsterdom. I say this as someone who regularly gets tricked by hipster nonsense because I’m simple.”

— Overheard at The Washington Post


9. Overheard at the Hogwarts Great Hall

“The Internet is a trash basilisk and you should never look directly into its eyes.”

— Overheard at The Washington Post


10. Every college student ever

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

— Overheard at The Washington Post


11. Also every college student ever

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

— Overheard at The Washington Post


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.”

— Overheard at The Washington Post

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.
