You’ve totally perfected the whole every other weekend thing, but the holidays are a completely different ballgame.

  1. Holiday planning basically begins at the end of August for you.
  2. Because you’ll never fit everyone in if you don’t start, like, now.
  3. And every year the schedule changes…
  4. Which means you and the Grinch are tight by this point.
  5. Every time someone even mentions holiday planning you immediately feel hot,
  6. And uncomfortable
  7. Because how will all of the things you have to do ever get done?
  8. So much driving and flying…
  9. You’re probably going to catch a cold with all of this travel…
  10. But that’s okay.
  11. Your present piles would make even the smallest Kardashian-West envious,
  12. Because what other emotion are they capable of experiencing?
  13. And getting the presents into the car?
  14. Well…
  15. If college doesn’t work out, you could definitely be the manager of the clown car routine.
  16. Your go-to holiday movie is “Four Christmases.”
  17. Every.
  18. Year.
  19. And the FOOD.
  20. The food is to die for.
  21. Breakfast, two lunches, and, like, four dinners?
  22. Sign me up!
  23. But you suffer from not being able to drink…
  24. Even just a little because you have to drive
  25. …to grandma’s house.
  26. But all four of your uncles clearly do not care,
  27. Because YOLO.
  28. And you always tell yourself ‘next year I will take a vacation.’
  29. On the beach...
  30. With a corona...
  31. And a little waiter named Chives.
  32. But, that never happens.
  33. And you’re forced to spend every holiday for the rest of your life with all four of your parents,
  34. Which, kind of, in some weird way, still makes you really happy.

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.
