For those single ladies

The Struggle Of Being The Only Single Girl In Your Friend Group
Madison Herley

Unfortunately, we've all been single at some point in our lifetime and lucky enough I'm in the spot as of right now. So hopefully some of you single girls out there can relate to these situations and struggles. No one wants to be the only single person in their friend group, however, it happens. The times you find yourself single while all of your friends are in relationships can be very much depressing and frustrating for yourself and for your friends. If you've ever been in this position, you"ll totally relate to the following situations:

1. Forced set ups or blind dating.

Just because you're single doesn't mean you're desperate. People need to understand that just because they know a guy doesn't mean you want to sit through an awkward meal with them and pretend to want to get to know them.

2. Always being the odd one out.

You're always the one that has to sit alone because everyone else is with a partner until you end up sitting next to some creepy one man who smells bad.

3. Witnessing awkward PDA.

I get it, you're so in love, but can't you take your hands off each other for a second? I mean we're in public, and no one wants to see you making out before class.

4. People say things like, "I promise, you'll meet someone when you least expect it."

For some odd reason, people in relationships forget that this quote is to make those single people to feel better about themselves. A little advice, we hate that quote.

5. You're always taking their picture for yet another Instagram post.

How many pictures does a couple need of each other? Let's be real, I doubt people are looking forward to all the cute pictures you have been posting non-stop.

6. Your wing woman/soul sister is no longer with you.

Well, guess it's time to have fun on your own time by yourself.

7. Seeing everyone in love makes you feel even more alone.

Not that you aren't happy for them, but when everyone close to you has a significant other it just emphasizes the fact that you don't. And that feeling sucks.

8. You're sick of hearing that right now isn't the time for you.

You've heard it once, you've heard it twice. Enough is enough.

9. You will always be the third, fifth, and seventh wheel.

No comment here.

10. You find yourself drowning in work just to distract yourself.

You find yourself drowning yourself in school work, work and extra work, in order to distract yourself from being alone and the thought of it.

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.
