For years now people have found ways to become offended by the color of coffee cups, as if there was nothing else going on in the world that needed our attention. Yet, Starbucks is at is again with their new spring cups. On March 16th, Starbucks will be releasing a line of pastel colored coffee cups to celebrate the coming of spring that will be available for a limited time.

Spring, like every other season of the year, contains holidays that may apply to certain religions *cough, cough* Easter. So, it's only natural to assume that these Starbucks cups are to celebrate said holiday, right?

Well, no. We've learned in the past that Starbucks does not actually discriminate any person or religion so, any level-headed person would understand these brightly colored cups are here to cheer us up after a long winter. I have no doubt people are going to lose their absolute minds when they see these cups, but let's get a few things straight first.

1. It's not even Easter yet.

We're still a full month away from the religious holiday and this isn't one we're going to celebrate early.

2. Spring is the time of year when all the flowers ~are supposed to~ bloom.

Tulips, pansies, daffodils, and peonies will all be out to show off their beautiful colors and that is what Starbucks is celebrating, not religion.

3. Those are circles, not eggs.

This is not an Easter egg hunt, so quit looking so hard for something that isn't there.


If your biggest concern in life is the color of someone's coffee cup, it might be time to turn on the news and see what is actually going on in the world.

Starbucks has been rolling out seasonal cups for over 20 years. They're not going to stop because you're offended. Also, Starbucks is probably too focused on the 10,000 refugees they plan on hiring to combat Donald Trump's immigration ban, so your complaints may just have to wait until next December's unveiling of seasonal cups.

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.
