I don't know about you guys, but I'm pretty excited about the idea that someday we'll be living on Mars. Well, that is, if you believe we'll actually be able to not only get there, but also build houses and grow our own food, and, you know, survive on a new planet. Yet, still, it’s fun just to think about what it would be like to actually live on Mars! Would we all live in a giant bubble full of air, or walk around in really uncomfortable, discount space suits? What would it be like to ride in a space ship? What would the days be like? What about houses, what would they look like? So many questions, so many day dreams… but, I have no doubt that human nature wouldn’t change. It’s a big step, going from a life on earth to a life on Mars, but that doesn’t mean humans will undergo huge changes. Here are some distinctly human behaviors and attitudes that I don’t think will ever change.

1. We'd still binge watch our favorite TV shows.

2. We'd still be looking for life outside of earth.

Come now, really? Really? Where are you?

3. We'd still invent really useless stuff.


Is a back-scratcher really necessary? Or a selfie stick?

4. Narcissism would still be a thing...

I know, I'm pretty dang awesome. No need to say anything.

5. But then, so would kindness.

6. We'd still demand perfection.

Yes, I want three and half sugars, a teaspoon of cream, and exactly four ice cubes in my coffee. Thanks!

7. We still wouldn't agree 100 percent on anything.

8. One generation would still complain about the other.

Back in my day, we didn't have no fancy communicatin' devices to call one another! We wrote letters! Something's wrong with your generation! *kid continues texting friends about ranting uncle*

9. Humans would still be messing things up.

Yep, it's just what we do. Sometimes it's good -- cheese, anyone? Sometimes bad... uh, sorry passenger pigeon!

10. We'd still be looking for the next place to live.

Come on, why stop at Mars, when you can go further?

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.
