A Warm Reminder

Sun, clouds, snow, OH MY!

A Warm Reminder
Bailey Albert

Whether you love the cold or you are a heat advocate, the weather is changing and it is changing rapidly.

With spring break just around the corner, plans have been made and people are choosing their destination based on previous spring break locations. But should they be so dependent on the past?

In an article published on nrdc.org, (Natural Resources Defense Council) the "weather has been rapidly changing over the past 50 years." Ever since the year 2000, temperatures have been increasing, warming the planet one year at a time.

Although there is some indication that global warming may be coming to a "slow," it is still occurring.

The source and cause of our planet being heated? The burning of fossil fuels.

Living in a modern era, this burning of fossil fuels is the most effective way to help us function.

If you need an example of the weather being warm at odd times of the year, take a look at the month of February, but specifically the week of February 19 to 25.

The average temperature from February is a high of 41 degrees and a low of 24 degrees.

When you look at the 19th through the 25th, the average temperature was around 65 degrees for a high and low of 42 degrees.

Global warming is a topic that is rarely talked about, but one that happens to be occurring every day.

NRDC gives 10 ways to help stop global warming and simply brings it to people's attention on how to better our planet. Things such as eat healthier foods, walk more, invest in smarter appliances and watch your carbon footprint. The link can be found below.

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.

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.
