14 Problems That Can't Be Fixed By Drinking Water
Emilie Kemp

We all know that consistently drinking water is one of the healthiest things you can do for your body. Water has been known to help cure headaches, chapped lips, and even kidney stones! While simply drinking water is one of the most commonly prescribed “medications” for many health and beauty issues, it’s important to note that some issues that are most commonly misconceived to be solvable by drinking water alone.

1. Acne

While drinking water definitely helps to moisturize the skin, there is no direct correlation of water curing acne on its own.

2. Wrinkles

This is a related and commonly believed myth. Again, while water is good for your skin, it cannot reverse already-present wrinkles.

3. Hair length

It’s a common misconception that water will make your hair grow faster. I’m here to tell you that’s a myth.

4. Paper cuts

You read that right! Water will not speed up the healing of a paper cut. You’ll just have to wait his one out and let it heal itself.

5. Eye color

Blue eyes are one of the most sought-after beauty staples, but drinking water will not turn your brown eyes blue.

6. Height

That’s just up to your DNA.

7. Broken bones

Please see a doctor!

8. Bra size

Sorry, that’s just 100% not where the water goes.

9. An STD

Sorry, bud. This is going to warrant a trip to the doctor as well.

10. GPA

While it’s true that drinking water can help you focus when studying, it’s not going to raise your GPA overnight.

11. Existential crises

Maybe try meditation? Or therapy?

12. Daddy issues

Therapy for sure.

13. Your relationship status

Unless you plan on running into your soulmate at the water fountain, I would suggest a different method.

14. Frequent urination

I hate to tell you that it’s only going to get worse.

Go forth and hydrate responsibly.

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.
