An Apology To The NSA Agent Who's Monitoring Me

Dear NSA,

I'm sorry for all the times I've googled the different ways to make a bomb with just things you can buy in airport terminals. I'm sorry for trying to see if ISIS has a kickstarter (they don't). I was really curious about the different pledge rewards. Also I'm sorry for all those times I started typing in Arabic when talking to people about my flight. I realize that my jokes are really limited and I refuse to get new material which is probably the worst crime that I've committed. It's come to the point where I realize that getting patted down in Dallas was really justified and I don't blame you if you revoke my pre-check application.

An Open Letter To Police Officers

An Open Letter To Police Officers

I just want you to know that I'm not a threat to national security. I'm just really dumb. But thanks for keeping an eye out for the good of the American people. Even though your entire department plays a minimal role in fighting terrorism, I know you're going to find them one day.

I'm also really proud of y'all for keeping up the age-old tradition of indiscriminate racism against people of color. It's completely needed and doesn't perpetuate any racism at all. Plus, it's completely justified when a majority of crime is committed by the exact people you're targeting.

In conclusion, I just want to say that your entire association is completely necessary and must be continued. How else would we feel safe without the constant threat of invisible policing? It's really comforting to know that you're with me when I'm asleep, watching and making sure I don't hack into any sensitive servers. Keep up the great work. I'm proud of you.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
