10 Things Only Marching Band Kids Will Understand
Wikipedia

Whether you were once a kid in marching band or currently in it, you will be able to relate to the everyday struggles of what is like to be part of a marching band.

1. Constantly having tacky pep-tunes, like the YMCA theme song stuck in your head causing you to hum it out loud. This humming will drive everyone around you crazy; and even you being annoyed with yourself.



2. Trying to be on step even outside marching band.

.

3. Rolling your feet when you walk instead of walking like a normal person.

4. Seeing how people react when you tell them you have band camp.. you never know how they will react.

5. Being handed your first drill and just trying to make sense of it.

6. The frustration of hearing the Drum Major say "BACK TO OPENING SET," after you have gone through the drill a million times already.

7. When the joy of hearing "water break" almost brings you to tears.

8. Getting the most AWKWARD tan lines from band camp.

9. Having to be aware of your surroundings on the drill field, and trying not run into anyone else.

10. Being at an attention position and having an itch.

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.
