2020 May Be Coming To A Close, But Our Guards Shouldn't Come Down With It

Numbers have increased with the holiday season, so we need to accept that January 1st doesn't promise a complete change.

2020 has probably been the worst year of our lifetime. I will fully admit to that fact. It has met us with lots of new changes and challenges that we've had to adapt to, and it's not over yet. Yes, we are beginning to see a positive change - vaccines have been developed and distribution has started, but the light at the end of the tunnel is farther down than most people think.

The unfortunate reality is that it will take time for everyone to get vaccinated, if they even want to.

The world is a big place, and it will take time for everything to get back to normal, just as it took time for Covid-19 to creep throughout the entire world.

It is because of the fact that so many people have labeled the year 2020 as the worst year ever, they believe that once it is over, so are all of the world's problems. While things certainly are making a way for change, things are not going to automatically flip a switch and return to normal again once midnight hits on New Year's. Numbers have increased with the holiday season, so we need to accept that January 1st doesn't promise a complete change.

Please. Continue to social distance, wear your masks, and make sure that you are paying attention to the news of the spread in your area.

We're not out of the woods yet, but the light is slowly and surely peeking through, we just need to be patient for a little while longer. Don't let your guard down once the ball drops.

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.
