10 Times That Time Wasn't Real
Shultz Meyers

1. Those short naps you take that turn into years.

2. When you realize "Where Is The Love?" by the Black Eyed Peas was actually released in 2003, and not two-years ago. Crazy!

3. As you read this, the Earth is both rotating and revolving, both of which is how we measure time.

However, Earth is only part of a never-ending space whose voids we can only guess at. Our man-made system of time is not capable of guessing at the age of a universe whose origins is not known, and probably will not be known in a million lifetimes. (It is unclear whether there was a true beginning in the first place.) Our system of time only attempts to estimate the moments we have on Earth before we are recycled back as atoms into the cosmos. Time, therefore, can exist in multitudes across the galaxy or perhaps not all.

4. When you realize the Backstreet Boys are old now (!) What's up with that?

5. But, some articles suggest that if time were to exist, it could be linear or, most likely, circular.

Some theorists speculate that time can actually exist in multitudes and believe that everything that will happen, has actually already happened, perhaps proving a version of a “fate” or “destiny.”

6. The moment you remember there’s only two-weeks until college! Wow, summer really goes fast!


7. Another possible theory of time is the theory of queer temporality, which suggests that queer people experience time faster than their straight counterparts.

(Could this be an explanation for the U-Hauling stereotype?) This is probably due to the fact that queer people develop different spatial and temporal relationships in regards to their world around them.

8. Realizing that 2016 is almost over and you still haven’t done anything with your life. #tooreal.

9. Someone once pointed out that as you get older, the years seem to go by faster, as the fraction of one year to your entire life grows smaller and smaller, thus making time “speed up” and making a linear time sequence inconsistent.

And finally...


10. When those Sunday night feels hit you, and you dread getting up for work on Monday. Where does the weekend go? #sorelatable

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
