9 Reasons Long Distance Relationships Suck

It sucks. No better word.

Long distance relationships are hard. Especially when they are half way across the world. No one wants to be in a long distance relationship.

1. You rarely get to see your significant other.

And when you do see your significant other, you just want to spend every minute with them and never let them leave again.

2. You have to travel to see them.

Sometimes one person travels more than the other and it makes it hard to not be able to see the other person.

3. You can’t just call them up for a snuggle session.

Sad? Cold? Sick? Or just need your significant other? Forget calling them to snuggle and bring food and make things better.

4. You have to FaceTime/Skype in order to see them.

The closest you get to seeing their face is through FaceTime/Skype, sometimes only being able to call them through FaceTime Audio/Skype because they don’t have cell phone service.

5. They’re most likely in a different time zone, sometimes in a different country.

Call them at 5 p.m. local time but it’s about 3 a.m. their time? Time zones suck. Especially because no one likes being interrupted in their sleep.

6. When something happens and you just want to call them up and tell them everything that happened.

But you can’t because they're busy or sleeping.

7. When you get into fights it is hard to resolve over texts when you can’t talk on the phone.

You can’t tell the tone of the texts, so forget trying to resolve things that way.

8. Saying goodbye is the worst.

Either getting in the car to come home or getting on the plane. You start crying, not knowing when the next time is you'll see them.

9. It really just sucks.

There is no better word for it. You rarely get to see them, rarely get to kiss them. It sucks not being able to go on cute dates, it sucks not being able to go for 3 a.m. car rides through the city or looking for somewhere to eat because we got hungry.

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.
