20 Things You Should Wish For

Maybe it's your birthday, or a shooting star just streaked across the sky, or one of your eyelashes fell out. Point is, you need something to wish for and asking for peace on Earth is a little too "Miss America" for your taste. Opportunities for cosmic assistance are few and far between. You don't want to waste them! You could use your wish to ask for good health or happiness, but that's so… generic. Here are some things that you should wish for instead.

  1. Fast Wi-Fi.
  2. A huge wardrobe.
  3. A signed poster of Michael Cera. Because, why not? It's only a matter of time before he's too old to play the awkward teen roles and gets kicked out of Hollywood.
  4. A potted cactus that you'd only have to water once in a while.
  5. A treehouse. Not a little kid one either. A fully functional tree house complete with bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen.
  6. Good grades. I mean, you've been wishing for this the whole school year anyway. Might as well try again.
  7. A really bad movie to make fun of. I'm not going to name names, but you know what I'm talking about.
  8. A boyfriend in an indie rock band who'll write songs about you.
  9. A college degree. Too real?
  10. A Batmobile.
  11. The abandonment of Chacos as acceptable footwear. I don't actually have anything against Chacos. I just think that wishing against something rather than for something makes a person feel more powerful.
  12. Concert tickets.
  13. Moon Shoes. These will probably be the first infomercial-advertised items I'll purchase once I turn 18.
  14. A hammock. Like a swing set, but lazier.
  15. Workout clothes. Perfect for lying around in your hammock all day.
  16. A sword. You will never need this for any practical purpose ever. Now go wish for one.
  17. To never stutter when making a comeback.
  18. A hollowed-out book. Awesome, except I have no idea what you would even put in one. Your Moon Shoes?
  19. Chicken nuggets.
  20. A friend like me.

    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.
