A severe drought is sweeping the nation.

11 Reasons Why We Need More Rom-Coms
insufficientscotty.com

I will fully admit it, I am a romantic and I'm obsessed with "romantic comedies" more fondly referred to as "rom-coms." Rom-coms have literally been around since Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream" and can unite generations. Seriously, who doesn't love a good rom-com? They are always relatable and every girl has grown up loving these amazing stories. They have 100 percent ruined me with an unattainable perception of love at first sight and how relationships work, but they've been totally worth it. Unfortunately, the movie theaters today are flooded with SciFi films, vampires, gore, violence, and stupid jokes. I'm ready for some high quality romance up in this place for so many reasons so please help a girl out and give me some more rom-coms.

1. Because I'm sick of having to close my eyes during previews because of all the violence.

2. Because in the age of technology these pre-teens need to understand that Snapchatting can not constitute an entire relationship.

3. Because they take you on the greatest adventures.



4. Because I need more movies where I can get a good cry on.

5. Because I've watched all of the old ones on Netflix too many times.

6. Because every girl deserves their own (insert rom-com hunk here).

7. Because they're an amazing date night or girls' night out option.

8. Because my sister was too young to appreciate them and now she needs some current ones.

This is the only rom-com experience she has and while HSM is amazing, she needs a movie education.

9. Because the on-screen chemistry of both the couples and the friends gave us so much to look forward to as we grew up.

10. Because I'm still looking for my own Josh Duhamel.

11. Because what good is a Friday night with your friends without a new rom-com?

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.
