Thanks, but no thanks.

14 Things I Am Not Thankful For
Wall Paper Cave

1. Flies

Enough said. Flies suck, especially when it's trapped inside your car and you can't manage to kill it.

2. The Sun

You may be good for heating and lighting our planet, but get out of my eyes while i drive. I would love to actually be able to SEE the road sometimes.

3. Netflix

You have ruined my social life. Instead of talking to other humans, I sat in bed for two days binge watching 'Stranger Things' and stuffing my face with ice cream and Goldfish.

4. Daylight Savings Time

You were good for the first night when I got that blessed extra hour of sleep. But now, the sun sets at like 5 p.m., and I now eat dinner at four with the senior citizens. That forces me to find another "dinner" at 7 p.m., when normal people eat.

5. Paying for School

I'm trying to learn and take enough credits to be considered a full-time student, but spend a million dollars a semester in the process.

6. Jimmy Johns

You get here in an insanely fast time and it bothers me. How come YOU can do it but the second I order from somewhere else the wait time is 45 minutes to an hour. WHAT IS YOUR SECRET?

7. Football Season

I love it when you're here and when my team wins. But the second football season is over or my team loses once again by ONE FREAKING POINT, you are automatically at the top of my kill list.

8. Thanksgiving Dinner

Because it's the only time it's socially acceptable to eat four types of pie and three pounds of mashed potatoes in one sitting. Therefore, causing me to have the largest food coma there ever was.

9. Delish/Tasty Videos

I can’t cook and you make me think I can.

10. The Holiday’s

I look forward to you every year, and then you show up and my wallet is empty. Why must you make me want to buy my friend’s dog a new chew toy? He doesn’t know who I am, and it’s not like he’s getting me a gift in return.

11. Timehop

Every day is a new look back at how awkward I was just a mere three years ago. Why did I find it necessary to tell all my Facebook friends that I was going to the mall with so and so and we were also going to the movies? They don’t care, and future me doesn’t either.

12. People Who Like Scary Things

For the 100th time, no I will not sit with you and watch demons take over a haunted house and kill everyone inside. No, I will not pay money to get scared out of my mind and not sleep for weeks.

13. Friends Who Go to Different Colleges

Transfer so we can hang out. The End.

14. Writing Odyssey Articles

I try to be relatable and funny and I’ll read them back and realize that I am not funny at all. Like seriously, listen to yourself: you’re not funny.

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.
