14 Things to Distract You From Politics
Freaking News

There are many reasons to pay attention to politics these days. It seems like every time one turns on the television or logs onto Facebook (and of course, Twitter), politics is all anyone ever wants to talk about. It makes people aggressive, frustrated, and sometimes overwhelmed. Many discussions end in arguments and people just get upset.

Today, is your lucky day. This article has nothing to do with politics whatsoever.

Instead, I have compiled a list of things that you can direct your attention to, instead of the current political climate, and let me tell you, there are many marvelous things in store for you.

1. The Ed Sheeran/Teletubbies dance video.

If you have no idea what I am talking about, please go look it up right now.

2. The Walking Dead comes back on February 12th.

How many more people can you kill in just half a season?

3. Catching up on the Walking Dead because you want to watch the second half of this season.

4. Celebrating because all previous seasons of the Walking Dead are on Netflix.

5. Netflix in general.

Blessed.

6. Watching all the Oscar movies before the ceremony.

Moonlight, Hacksaw Ridge, La La Land, and Hidden Figures are just a few of the great ones.

7. Watching the Oscars ceremony on February 26th.

So many famous people to see all in just one night!

8. Watching the Oscars just to see what everyone is wearing.

Many people don't actually go and see the Oscar nominated movies; they really only watch for the outfits, and for good reasons.

9. Deciding how to celebrate Valentine's Day.

Yay for expressions of love!

10. Alternately, deciding how to NOT celebrate Valentine's Day.

You can just express love for yourself.

11. Monitoring the orange alligator situation in South Carolina.


Enough said.

12. Your family and friends.

13. Buzzfeed quizzes.


Asking the burning questions.

14. Cute animals.

Look at that face.

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.

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.
