Nerds: The Date Everyone Wants
Madison Breslin

Dating nerds? Seems like for the modern age, nerds are finally getting the attention they deserve.

Being a fellow nerd, I have noticed this new fad of loving them. Congratulations! You have finally seen that we are awesome cuddles, video gamers, and action figure collectors.

Some of us can be very awkward, but apparently that comes across as cute? WELL I CAN HANDLE THAT!

So thank you to those who have recognized that intelligence is sexy. Holding a conversation and being dedicated to your studies, should be pretty cool. It shows that we care about what we want in our life. I have a niece that is fourteen, and she tells me that everything that was not popular, “in my time” is now trending and popular. Everybody wants to be a nerd now. And apparently I am an old millennial to a fourteen-year-old.

Not to get all deep on you like I usually do, but being a nerd, was being the outcast. The “weird,” one. We were different, we kept to ourselves because of that. Maybe we nerds, do not want to be the most popular, maybe we were better right where we were, thats what made us different, and unique. Just a thought bomb for you. Being a nerd, is being your full on self. Do not pretend to like Pokemon because it is the new fad in town. Just be you.

Anyway I digress, for all the people who love dating nerds, I and others can say we cannot wait to “nerd out” for you!

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.
