To People Who Walk Up The Stairs While On Their Phone

Hello, It's me, the person behind you who is extremely annoyed.

Guess what? Stop looking at your phone while walking up the stairs. It is not only dangerous, but it's infuriating. You're just moseying along enjoying life so oblivious to the world around you and how rude you currently are acting.

We've all seen those videos of people walking oblivious to their surroundings, into parking garages, fountains, busy streets and more. What if you fall? Worse, what if you cause other people to fall in the process? All so you can send that killer tweet?

You are telling me that it is impossible for you to walk up a flight of stairs, which takes ten seconds at max, without your phone being glued to your hand and eyes? You're that obsessed with your phone? You're really making Millennials and Gen-Zers look great. Thanks for that dude.

What are you even looking at? A text? Scrolling through Facebook? Taking a snap? It all can wait! There is no reason you need to be so self-absorbed and phone addicted like this. I get it, emergencies happen, people need to reach you for some reason, but deal with your business either before or after you transverse the stairs!

Look, I'm clumsy as heck, so I don't need you slowly walking up the stairs making me spend more time on them. I'm busy trying to get to class, I don't have time for you and your precious phone to be in my way.

And while we're on this subject, put your phone down while driving and stop playing on it in class too! You're wasting your own time and everyone else's.

Okay so from now on, stop looking down at your phone taking your sweet ass time while walking up the stairs. Take the elevator if you want to do that. Just look up from your phone long enough to walk up the stairs and get out of my way.

You miss a lot when you constantly stare at your screen.

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.

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.
