Back At It Again With the Bad Advice: Bad Advice by Amanda #19
Amanda Reed

I'd like to start off this edition of my bad advice column with a quote that captures the essence of my return: “Surprise, Bitch. I bet you thought you saw the last of me.” -Madison Montgomery. You thought I was done with this thing? Oh honey, you thought wrong. #BABA is back with a hot sweaty vengeance, so prepare for the worst advice yet, friends. So, without further ado, here is the return of Bad Advice by Amanda.

Amanda,

I'm having a difficult time saving money. The goal is to have above $20 in my account. Unfortunately between bills and booze this isn't the case. What do you suggest I do to remedy my situation?

Broke College Kid, University of Expensive Tuition

Broke College Kid,

First, find yourself an accredited institution ("University of Expensive Tuition" sounds like a bad time off the bat). Maybe your life would be better if you went to "The School for Broke People Who Want a Good Education." I would say "rob a bank/convenience store/other place with money" because, obviously, they have money, and it looks like you need more money to keep up with your expensive lifestyle, but that would be incredibly stupid/reckless. So, the best option is to prioritize and find good ways to cut costs. Pay your bills first (duh). Then, budget. You can drop $100 on clothes, but drop that money thrifting. You spend $100 but at least you got cooler shit than if you went out and bought something new. Buy shittier/cheaper alcohol than what you're currently buying. Don't forget about couponing! Get those deals, fam. And try to do some things yourself. There are plenty of tutorials on YouTube that teach you how to DIY and save ya coin. Your hair might look stupid since you cut it yourself and you're an uncoordinated idiot, but at least you saved some money!

If you'd like bad guidance for your pressing personal problems, submit them here!

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.

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.
