3 Reasons Why I Love The Internet

While I was scrolling through Twitter yesterday, I came across a few pictures and just lost it. One of my favorite parts about the internet and social media is that we are able to see all of the crazy and absurd things that are happening around the world, and i'll admit, I absolutely love it. Thanks to Twitter, I had a few much needed laughs yesterday. Here are a few examples that demonstrate just how much I love humanity.

1. The Impersonator

Let's just talk about this for a second. A teen goes to jail....for impersonating a doctor....then tries escaping jail.....by impersonating a prison guard. Really?!? I think someone is a little too excited for Halloween this year. First of all, what is the purpose of pretending to be a doctor? Second of all, did he actually get people to believe he was a real doctor? How, and why? And another question...how did he get his hands on a prison guard uniform? These are the things I'll never understand, but I still love it.


2. Why Gucci...Just Why?

Ah yes, just what everyone had in mind for this Christmas. A pair of nice, warm, cozy goat hair slippers from Gucci. At only $1,800, I can walk around looking like I'm wearing Hannah Montana's wig on my feet! Every girl's dream. I just want to know, why Gucci? Better yet, these slippers cost more money than I've ever had in my bank account at one time. Why waste your money on a few vacations when you can have one pair of Gucci goat hair slippers?!


3. The Goldfish Lady

Yes, you read that right. A woman rushed her precious goldfish Conquer to the vet when she saw he was choking on a pebble. But then again that doesn't sound too crazy--I wouldn't want to watch my pet suffer. Instead of just allowing the vet to put the goldfish down peacefully then buying a new $12 goldfish, she pays $375 to save his life. A true hero. Someone give this woman a metal. It is obvious that she cherished her goldfish dearly. Judging by his name, she had dreams for him to "conquer" the world (or his fishbowl). I can now sleep at night knowing that Conquer is happy and healthy back in his fishbowl.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
