5 Reasons I'm Broke

I could probably think of a lot more, but these are the top 5 that affect me on a daily basis.

5 Reasons I'm Broke

Reason #1: Food.

Food is the number one reason I am broke. I can’t deny my friends when they ask if I want to go out to eat!! A chance to eat real food instead of the dining hall? Sign me up, I don’t care if its a restaurant or fast food, but it’s hurting my bank account greatly. Heidi’s, the all amazing sandwich place, or going to find a new restaurant in Old Port, there’s no way to deny a nice meal out.

Reason #2: Clothing.

Clothing..every girl’s weakness. Every time I make a trip to the mall I have to buy something, whether it be a shirt from Forever 21 or a pair of $50 jeans from American Eagle, I can’t resist. It is impossible for me to go to the mall and not buy something because I love clothes so much.

Reason #3: Textbooks.

Textbooks are ridiculously expensive, as we all know, but it’s not just a one time cost. Nope, twice a year! Because everyone has the money for that! But you got to get your education. Sometimes I don’t even use the textbook I was required to buy, so it was a waste of money in the first place.

Reason #4: Sports Gear.

Sports gear..I need it. Between a new helmet, sweatpants, t-shirts, and jackets, I am dropping major cash on sports gear to represent. I can’t get enough of sports gear, I love to represent my school, as well as brag about the fact that I play softball here, so I love to have all the gear possible.

Reason #5: Aroma Joes.

After my first trip to Aroma Joes, I was forever addicted. $4 for a single drink, that hurt my debit card, and of course it’s a nice 5 minute walk from campus! Blue Hawaiian Rush..a nice energy drink to wake me up in the morning before my 9:30 class, couldn’t ask for anything better, maybe cheaper! I’m not a fan of coffee, so when I found a drink that wakes me up I have to stick with it, and this is addicting, let me tell you.

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.
