Ikea

It's a magical wonderland of home furnishings and Swedish meatballs. Making a trip there is a whole day's excursion, making your way through the three main sections of the store that seems more like a city than a building. First, you make your way through the showroom where every piece of furniture is on display as you might set it up in your own home. Then, you shop the marketplace where you'll find dinnerware and curtains and the like. And then, finally, you're left to your own devices when you get to the final stage: the self-service furniture warehouse. It's a workout of a day and you'll most likely be exhausted for a few days following the trip.

As you can imagine, with so much space, there are so many opportunities for odd, inappropriate, sometimes even dangerous shenanigans. Here's a list of things to do in Ikea that are frowned up on and may get you kicked out of the store:

1. Play Hide and Seek.


2. Take a nap in the beds.


3. Ride the carts through the self-service warehouse.



4. Try on the shoes in the showroom closets.


5. Start a pillow fight.


6. Host a cooking show.


7. Jump on the beds.


8. Build a pillow and blanket fort.


9. Switch the fake screens on the computers with porn.


10. Host a Pampered Chef or Pure Romance party in the demo living rooms.

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.
