15 Things We Can't Live Without
Those of Rose

Let's say that homo sapiens came from apes, crazy idea..I know but just go with it. That would mean that we are animals, you know, creatures! Which would make me assume that we have instincts and talents. Things that would allow for the survival of the fittest. But we have traveled very far from our ape-man roots and I think on Doomsday without these essential keys of life, no one will make it! Human kind as it is known by hopefully only human kind, will be lost. Without these 15 things, it's over. No one could possibly survive, no matter their survival instincts. These are 15 things that we cannot live without and if you don't believe me, just try to live without them.

1. Chocolate & Sweets

Chocolate when I am mad or when I am sad. Chocolate when I am happy and when I am tired. Chocolate when I am bored, chocolate all of the damn time.

2. Dogs & Pets

If you can live without that, you let me know..so I can ignore your existence.

3. Music & Media

Putting headphones on or even blasting speakers just to escape the world and the sound of my sister singing in the shower, ahhhhh we all need that.

4. Cuddles & Love

How could one survive without the essence of a cuddle?

5. Friends & Family

Someone has to be there to drink, cry and be evil with, every time.

6. Money


Let's face it, all we have to do is make enough money to not be homeless and die. Those are basically the two universal goals of life.

7. The Internet

It has been many years since we have looked to concrete slabs and cave drawings to learn information, what would survival be without Google?

8. Smartphones

To be blunt, one cannot live without their life...

9. Ice Cream

The sweet, cold churned beauty that is appropriate for all times of the day with endless options of toppings, garments and sugary attributes. Nothing can compare to the glimmering melt of ice cream and no one can live without it...unless you don't like it or are lactose intolerant in which case, nevermind.

10. Wine

Sometimes, you just gotta lean your head back and forget about some things, it also goes PERFECT with cheese, which if you hadn't heard, I like. (So sorry, inside joke).

11. Days Off


Thank you Bueller, finally, someone understands me! I had 42 absences in the 12th grade. And I am a complete nurd. So, sometimes you just have to take a day off to survive. Also, other sources of knowledge have much more interesting topics than public school..

12. Netflix

Netflix is to me as water is to Bikini Bottom.

13. Luck

Without a little luck, well, you'd probably be dead. Think of how lucky you are every day to not got through some of the traumas you see others go through, and perhaps they are not going to survive. You need some luck!

14. Inspiration

You can't survive without the motivation to survive! It'll be tough to survive the apocalypse, only the ones who truly want it will survive.

15. Day & Night

Think about never having a time to close your eyes? I would never make it without the ability to leave for a little bit.

So no, you don't need Oxygen or natural resources or water or a heart. That's a myth, these are what you really need.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
