How to Embrace Awkward Elevator Moments
Giphy

I don’t know about you, but whenever I walk into an elevator with strangers, it is always really uncomfortable. Almost everyday people embrace the awkward when getting into an elevator. The natural response is to look at the floor, the ceiling, or your phone. Those 2 to 3 minutes that you are stuck in a small space with a complete stranger are moments we all dread.

Whenever I get into an elevator and I am alone, I start dance around...because why not?

But what do you do when you are in an elevator with others? It is always super awkward!

Here are a few challenges to make your elevator experience more enjoyable.

Take a group selfie with everyone in the elevator! Say cheese!

Offer gum to everyone in the elevator.

When everyone walks into the elevator shake their hand and introduce yourself.

Say “I’m wearing new socks” and watch people’s response.

Ask everyone how their day is going.

Ask everyone what their favorite app is on their phone.

If all buttons have been pressed quote Elf.

“It’s so pretty. Like a Christmas tree”.

If the elevator makes an odd sound or movement check to see if you have food and water to survive if trapped.

Speak in a different accent.

As siri random questions: What is your favorite color? Will I die alone? Why is a firetruck red?

Activities to do with friends in an elevator:

Start making farm animal sounds.

Face the back wall.

Play rock, paper, scissors.

Break out singing, and start a mini dance party.

High five everyone when entering and leaving the elevator.

Happy elevator riding!

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.
