That windchill ain't no joke.

45 Thoughts You Have During A Midwest Winter
The Shining

1. I definitely wore the perfect amount of layers today, shout out to me.

2. *gust of wind rips the skin off your face* My bones feel like ice.

3. OK, only a few more blocks and I'll be napping in my nice, toasty classroom.

4. I'm amazed I even got out of bed this morning and put on pants, let alone left the apartment.

5. Why is there a patch of ice just chilling on the sidewalk? I almost died.

6. I look like a drunk baby deer trying not to bust my ass on this ice right now.

7. I should've never left the south...

8. Is that a f***king snowflake?

9. No one told me it was snowing today.

10. Shit.

11. They're getting bigger... I didn't even wear the right shoes for this shit so that snow better not stick.

12. Alright I'm halfway there.

13. This is not the time for me to be humming "Livin' on a Prayer."

14. Bon Jovi isn't even that great, honestly. Sorry not sorry.

15. OK, focus; try not to die in the next few blocks.

16. Is that someone I know? I can't tell because I'm pretty sure she's wearing a ski mask.

17. Should I get a ski mask?

18. No f***king way. I'd look like a serial killer.

19. But.... my cheeks wouldn't feel like slabs of ice. That's a definite pro.

20. Am I seriously considering buying a ski mask right now?

21. What have I become?

22. Two more blocks. I got this.

23. *enormous gust of wind part 2* Why?!

24. This is it. This is how I die.

25. I relate to Jack Nicholson in "The Shining" right now.

26. I can't go on; let class go on without me. I'll just freeze in the middle of the sidewalk.

27. I can't feel my face when I'm with you (Chiberia).

28. Who thought to build a billion skyscrapers by a lakefront and create the most brutal wind tunnel in existence?

29. That lakefront chill ain't no joke.

30. I probably should've worn two pairs of socks. I lost all the feeling in my toes.

31. It feels like I've been walking for at least an hour...

32. *checks time on phone* or you know, three minutes.

33. *walks past Panera* Damn, I could really go for a bread bowl right now...

34. Wait, should I really get a bread bowl?

35. I'm already late for class as it is...

36. No, stay focused.

37. Fine, I'll go to class.

38. I've got this, I've got this, I've got this.

39. *sees building in the distance* I've never seen a more beautiful sight.

40. *walks past the slew of smokers* Not even y'all's nasty ass cigarette smoke can break my stride.

41. *pushes door open* Yaaaas let me just take off all my layers real quick.

42. *shivers*

43. So.... where's the heat at?

44. That's some bullshit.

45. I should've stayed in bed.

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.
