21 Thoughts I've Had As A Northerner At A Southern School
littleproblemsblog

To start, any school in a state south of the Mason-Dixon Line is considered southern in my book. I'm a northerner, a Yankee if you will, so I can notice these little quirks and things that are completely different from what I've known growing up. I'm a Northerner born and raised but I've planted my roots in southern soil for at least a part of my life

  1. I miss good bagels.
  2. I miss 24 hour diners.
  3. Why don't those exist here?
  4. These people are missing out.
  5. Ugh I need some Taylor Ham
  6. Why do these people dress up for tailgates and football games?
  7. Don't they worry about getting stuff on their clothes?
  8. Cowboy boots are actually pretty cute
  9. Why is it so hot here?
  10. I need this humidity to calm down
  11. Fall needs to hurry up and get here
  12. When it snows these people have no idea how to drive
  13. Like when they get 2 inches of snow the city shuts down
  14. I will never say y'all
  15. "Hey y'all!"
  16. Some of these Lilly dresses are crazy
  17. Omg I need to get a Lilly dress
  18. Why is this girl wearing a north face? It's like 60 degrees out, it's not that cold
  19. OMG cookout is the best food
  20. I need more chick fil a in my life
  21. I love the south

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
