27 Things To Add Culture To Your Life
Pusheen

1. Find a Park

You don’t necessarily have to go to it, I suppose, just find where it is.

2. Look at Stars

Look at a light pollution map, find a dark area, drive there, and look at the sky (works best at night).

3. Watch a Film

Find something classy, like indie films that look like the entire thing has the Clarendon filter over it.

4. Go to a Library

I always forget how much I love libraries. Bruh, the entire place smells like old books and they’re ALL FREE. You can just take ‘em. Amazing.

5. Cook Something from a Video You Saw on Facebook

Technically, you're supposed to eat every day anyway, so no extra expense.

6. Draw Something

It doesn’t have to look good; just say that’s the aesthetic you’re going for, like a Picasso.

7. Exist

Just chill on this ride through space, fam.

8. Make a Website

Then you can update everyone with things you think they want to know, for some reason.

9. Read a Blog

Preferably about something incredibly specific and nuanced. Become an expert and tell all your friends.

10. Start a Blog

Preferably about something incredibly specific and nuanced. Become an expert and show all your friends by linking it to your website.

11. Transcend this Plane of Existence

Nothing says “cultured” quite like superseding your corporeal form.

12. Go on a Picnic

Basket: optional.

Tiny sandwiches: mandatory.

13. Start Learning a Language

Even just a couple words is a good start.

14. Speak with Computers

Learning a language = fancy. Computers = fancy. Learning computer code = nerd, somehow. You should still do it though.

15. Memorize a Poem

You never know when you’ll need it.

16. Call Your Legislators

Nothing is more cultured than being an involved citizen!

17. Do More Push-ups

You know who valued physical exercise? Leonardo da Vinci.

18. Run.

Run.

19. Take Super Aesthetic-y Photos for your Instagram

Be the aesthetic you want to see in your feed.

20. Make a Mini-Movie on your Snapchat

Or just take more videos of your dog wandering around your house. Up to you.

21. Collage Something

Video collage, photo collage, paper collage - it all works.

22. Write Letters to Your Friends

Bonus points for delivering through the mail.

23. Write Letters to Your Enemies

Bonus points for delivering by trained hawk.

24. Write Literally Anything

You could write the next great American novel. You probably won't but like, you could, theoretically.

25. Start a Dream Journal

Lucid dreaming is just the next step toward real-life Inception, I promise.

26. Study, I guess

You probably need to tbh.

27. Hang Out at Coffee Shops

The more obscure the better, and you can only go to Starbucks ironically.

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.
