10 To-Dos We Don't Want To Do

Dust the baseboards will never be checked off the list.

You know that list of things you need to do that you're never going to actually do until you have to? This list is unlike any other to-do list because it continues to get longer, but never shortens. I typically have lists for my lists, but there are just some things that will never get done because we just hate to do them. I would much rather study for a test or write a paper for a history class than even begin to think about the To-Do-but-don't-want-to-do list.

1. Dust under the furniture.

This usually involves moving the furniture around and that's a lot of effort. No, thank you.

2. Cleaning the corners on all the steps.

Why dust bunnies gather here, I couldn't tell you. But it's a pain to try and balance on each step while trying to dust those hard-to-reach corners.

3. Organizing the garage.

This is some people's dumping place, while others keep it very organized. I don't like the garage because there are bugs.

4. Clean the trashcan.

This seems like a weird one, but when you have to take the trash out every week and the horrid smell that hits you in the face as you open the lid as little as possible. Nobody wants to wash the trashcan, so that smell is only going to get worse.

5. Clean out bookshelves.

I always find myself looking through yearbooks I forgot I had or rereading a chapter from my favorite childhood story. And before you know it, an entire hour has gone by and it's time to cook dinner. Oh well, you tried.

6. The pen drawer.

I think everyone has a pen drawer in their house, somewhere where everyone can grab a pen on the way out the door. But it's amazing how many things get thrown in here.

7. The junk drawer.

Sometimes this goes with the pen drawer or it's a completely separate drawer all together. Either way, weird things migrate here and it's best to just close it and pretend like it's not there.

8. The random coat closet you always forget exists.

There's that random door that nobody ever opens. Sometimes it contains coats and jackets that haven't been worn in years. Others contain Christmas decorations or cleaning supplies. Or it's just a junk closet that never gets opened. Ever.

9. Your keyboard or your laptop.

A lot of the times, we overlook our computer keyboards. Believe it or not, there is actually cleaning supplies sold for keyboards! You use the keyboard all day long so the build up of dirt and food and germs is kind of horrifying to think about.

10. Under your seat in your car.

Just sweep the crumbs under, they'll go away eventually. Right?

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
