I’m on

Writer’s Note

Let’s look at similar meanings and how “I’m on your side” came to be. Suppose there is a square boundary, physically you can be on one side compared to the other side. You may be on the right side or left side. Now, when you agree or believe in someone’s argument or dispute you can “side” with someone, in which case, you can use “To side with someone”. When using “I’m on your side” it connotes loyalty and companionship in interpersonal contexts. Hey, practice makes perfect so write about a time when you or someone close to you has been misunderstood or been treated unfairly. Is there a time when you have expressed this to a friend or when a friend has said this to you? Leave us a comment below!

Depending on the situation, you may want to use “I should go on a diet, I need/want to go on a diet, I can’t go on a diet.” People seem to need/want to go on a diet at certain seasons of the year or before a big event or holiday. I’m on a diet is a pretty straight forward expression and commonly used nowadays because of growing pressure on outward appearance. There are thousands of different ways to diet and it can be difficult to incorporate one into your lifestyle. Biological determinants, location, religious beliefs, cost or income, and availability/accessibility are just a few of the factors that may affect one’s diet.

Don’t we all need a break from something we were focusing on? If you’re in school, you’ll have breaks throughout the day like recess or study breaks. But if you’re at work, there aren’t set times when you can have a break. A coffee break is a short period of time, usually in the morning or afternoon, when you stop working and have a cup of coffee. Try texting or saying that you’re on a coffee break the next time someone asks what you’re doing.

Some people love their work but for the rest of us it’s boring and mundane. Let’s be honest, we all need to earn money and a job is going to get you there. I’ve had countless days where work was stressful and tedious. The “daily grind” is a perfect way to express how mundane work can be. It describes one’s daily work routine, especially when it is tiresome.
