What We Can ALL Do, To Help Prevent The Spread Of Corona

If you are going out, resuming life as normal, vacationing and hanging out consistently with friends, you are not doing your part to contain the virus, and you might be putting others around you at a risk to get the virus.

Everyone knows about Corona, but not everyone is taking it as seriously as they should. This is not a bashing-my-generation session, but at the same time it is.

Yes, if you are a healthy twenty-year-old, Corona will probably not affect you much. Yes, you might get a headache and some flu-like symptoms, but you will most likely live. Yes, if you are a healthy twenty-year-old, you might not even show any symptoms. But, disclaimed: THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU CANNOT PASS THE ILLNESS TO OTHERS IN A HIGH-RISK GROUP. If you are going out, resuming life as normal, vacationing and hanging out consistently with friends, you are not doing your part to contain the virus, and you might be putting others around you at a risk to get the virus.

Do not forget that we are in a pandemic right now!! We might not want to see it as such, but we are, and we can help solve the problem by self-quaratining and doing our part to help with the virus control, even if it looks like we are 100% healthy. It is ALWAYS better to be safe than sorry, and when we are talking about a virus that is quite literally KILLING people all around the world, it is selfish to not be safe.

Yes, I know you miss your friends. Yes, I know that you want to go on that trip to Mexico that you spent so much money on...but we are in a CRISIS. Even Trump, who doesn't even believe in global warming, has said so! If you are going out and resuming your regular life, not washing your hands extra and going to crowded spaces instead of social distancing, you are a part of the problem. Period.

With that being said, I hope that everyone is staying safe during this incredibly scary time in our history. Wash your hands, avoid touching your face, make sure you are getting rest, stay healthy and as happy as we can. Make sure to preserve your mental health during this time by connecting with friends and family through technological outlets, and picking up on hobbies that life has forced you to put down.

And with that being said,

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

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

By: James McDonald

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

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
