Home sweet MacBook.

What Your Desktop Background Says About You

I can't speak for all of you, but if you're as neurotic as I am, your laptop's current desktop background was chosen carefully, and it says a lot about the current state of your life. After careful consideration, I have broken it down into the following categories.

1. Artistic Painting Background.

You like to think of yourself as creative. Maybe you're actually into art, or maybe you just think it's pretty- either way, you're probably a laid-back person, trying to soothe your sensitive soul.

2. Inspiring Quote.

“Over achiever" doesn't even begin to describe you. You're so Type A that you practically sweat caffeine. You're never seen without your laptop, and you live and die by your Lilly Pulitzer planner. You have at least two meetings after class and your life motto is “If I don't do it, it doesn't get done". Bonus points if you have a coffee mug bearing the same quote.

3. Minimalist Theme.

You try to keep things simple, and you like them to be just so. Clutter in any area of your life overwhelms you, and you try to avoid frivolity at any cost. You insist that you're easy to please, but little does anyone know that you spent at least 20 minutes on designlovefest.com looking for the perfect minimalist design.

4. Group of Friends.

You are very grounded in your home values. Your friends mean the world to you, no matter how crazy you get. Having their picture as your background serves as a constant reminder, that you never have to fight your battles alone.

5. Photo of You and Your Significant Other Kissing.

Unless you're married or engaged, you're probably a tad too invested in your relationship. You never go out unless your significant other will be there too, and you lose your mind if they don't text back within 20 minutes. You like to minimize application windows during class so that everyone can admire the image of your lip action. Bonus points if it's a prom photo with your high school sweetheart.

6. Nature Shot.

You love traveling and being outdoors. You're the first to suggest a camping trip, and you're one of those disturbed people who actually like 10-mile hikes uphill. You probably have “save our forests" stickers on the outside of your laptop case.

7. Sports Wallpaper.

“Fanatic" doesn't even cover it. ESPN is constantly on in your living room, and you retweet the Bleacher Report like it's your day job.

8. Plain Blue Default.

Either you're on a school computer in the library, or you're just that boring. You probably own lots of L.L. Bean sweatshirts and Crocs.

9. Artsy Close-Up Shot.

You're either really into photography, and took this shot yourself, or you pulled it off of Tumblr. You're late for everything, and you go to Starbucks a minimum of 5 times a week. What can you say? You have your priorities.

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.
