12 Ways Life Is A Lot Like A Donut
Jenna Leigh Bonner

Life is like a lot of things: a box of chocolate, a camera, a beautiful melody, a mountain, a train wreck. You can pretty much compare anything to life as long as you have enough motivation and creativity. So, let's see how life is like donuts!

1. There are a lot of different types:

You can have chocolate donuts, blueberry cake, jelly filled, etc. Everyone has their own thing that they like and all are so individual!

2. They look good on the outside but are sometimes awful on the inside:

A lot of people seem pretty awesome externally, but are actually fairly horrible. Reguardless of this, we still have to put up with them from time to time without smashing them.


3. Sometimes they're twisted:

Sometimes life gets weird and all mushed together. But, no matter what, we do our best to enjoy it and find some tastiness. Plus, some people prefer things a little twisted.

4. There is a huge whole in the middle:

Something always feels missing from life. Luckily for us, that little bit that gets taken out often becomes something wonderful and delicious all in its own right.

5. You take them whenever they're available, even if its awful:

Sometimes donuts suck (as mentioned above). But even then, we take them and eat them because hey, donuts, man.

6. Some parts are pointless, but enjoyable anyways:

Let's be real, sprinkles serve no purpose. Whatsoever. They add nothing to the donut. However, they look so pretty that just looking at them makes us happy. Things in life don't have to practical or purposeful in order to make us smile.

7. They're best at 2 a.m. with friends:

Donuts are literally always better late at night/early in the morning with friends. Similarly, life is better when you are enjoying life with people you love.

8. We can't prove they exist:

Time to get into a deep existential crisis: you can't prove anything exists outside of your own consciousness (Google "brain in vat" theory). So, we can't prove donuts exist either. That doesn't stop us from chomping in and enjoying a good one though! If you're in a constant existential crisis like me, remember to chill and enjoy life even when it doesn't seem real.

9. They're sweet and bring happiness:

This is self explanatory and true.

10. They eventually end:

This is also self explanatory and true.

11. Coffee makes them better:

Coffee makes life better. Or tea if you're a tea person. Or chocolate milk or something if you're that weirdo who doesn't like coffee or tea. Whatever your drink is, enjoy it with donuts and in life.

12. You eat donuts no matter what:

We will always love donuts. We love the sprinkles and cream and jelly and toppings. We eat them with friends at 2 a.m. and enjoy them even when they low key may not be "real". They make us happy and we enjoy the good moments. That is what life should be like.

Life is a lot like a donut, so enjoy it just the same.

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.
