11 Reasons Why Shakespeare Was Actually WILD

  1. HE WAS A FEMINIST! Shakespeare included female characters with very feminist and progressive plot lines.
  2. He would often use sexual innuendos and it can get dirty. He was the KING of dick jokes.
  3. He was Bisexual. Many of his writings referred to multiple men and women in a romantic way.
  4. He invented the original "yo mama joke".
  5. Anne Hathaway was three months pregnant when they got married. Those shotgun weddings aren’t anything new, people.
  6. Nobody knows where he was from 1585-1592. Besides speculation, there are no records during this time of what Will was up to. Maybe he was off taking a break from the spotlight in the Caribbean!
  7. He was friends with members of the royal family.
  8. He was very wealthy and owned much land which was uncommon for artists. BAH BLANG!
  9. He lived a double life. While he was a renowned playwright in London, at his hometown of Stratford, he was a respected businessman and father. Take that Hannah Montana!
  10. Even though Catholicism was illegal during his lifetime, he was believed to be a practicing Catholic. Living outside the law!
  11. He's so cool he got a shoutout in the bible. Since he was kicking it with King James, when the King wrote his version of the bible, the 46th word of Psalm 46 is “shake” and the 46th word from the end of the psalm is “spear”. It was published on Shakespeare’s 46th birthday.

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.
