Dear Future (As In Like 4 Months From Now) Me,

This article is inspired by that little class activity you were forced to do in school, that really annoying assignment where you had to write a letter to your future self:

Dear Future (As In Like 4 Months From Now) Me,

As semester after semester goes by, I saw myself changing before my eyes. Some of these changes were smaller than others, but they were changes none the less. Freshman year was by far the most eye opening and dramatic, while last fall was a bit more simple. While I struggled for that first year, I saw huge improvements as the fall semester went on and I'm hoping that those improvements continue into the spring. There were (and probably always will be) ups and downs, but I know that you'll probably have overcome them in ways only you know how. I'm looking forward to seeing how certain relationships/friendships progress as you meet new people and spend more or less time with others. I'm hopeful that you will continue to boost our GPA, finally getting that 4.0 we've always dreamed of. I'm excited to think about the different places you could possibly go, the things you could see and experiences as I'm sure they are far more than I could ever imagine in this moment.

Unfortunately, I could never predict the future and am unsure of what this semester has in store for us. But, I do know that absolutely one thing is for sure: whatever happens is meant to happen. Things happen for a reason and while we might not appreciate the struggling in the moment, those obstacles are meant to teach us valuable lessons and help us grow as a person.

These may seem like simple things, but I know that they mean a lot to us. So, future me, I hope that you are able to accomplish things that I can only dream of doing; I know that you will go far in such a short amount of time and I look forward to seeing the person I have become. I don't know what the future (as in like 4 months from now) will bring, but I hope you are as excited as I am to see what adventures they hold <3

With love,

Arielle :)

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

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.
