5 Types of Everyday Internal Conflict

1. I should get out of bed, but it’s so comfortable.
It’s not every day you jump out of bed alert and ready to take on the day. In fact, you usually moan and groan about having to get out of bed because it’s one of the most comfortable places in the world. You know you should get out of bed. It’s what your mom would want you to do, but sometimes lounging in bed a little bit longer is exactly what you need.

2. I should go to the gym, but it’s such a long walk.
You know going to the gym is the healthy option, but sometimes getting to the gym is a daunting task. Walking over to the JC in frigid temperatures isn’t your idea of a good time. To go to the gym or to keep doing what you’re doing?

 

3. I should do my homework, but Netflix is calling my name.
You hate being labeled as a procrastinator, but it’s hard to say no to Netflix. Binge watching Netflix is a talent of many. It’s not easy watching an entire season of "Friends" in one day. Homework can wait.

 

4. I should eat healthy, but ice cream sounds too good.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but you’d rather grab a bite supporting a philanthropic restaurant night. It’s hard to go a day without hearing about a restaurant night that supports a wonderful organization. So why not get ice cream to support the cause! It might not be healthy, but it sure is generous.

 

5. I should dress presentable, but leggings are way more comfortable.
College is one of the only times in which it’s acceptable to wear leggings and oversized tops, so you capitalize on the opportunity as often as possible. When you graduate you’ll find shirts that don’t overwhelm your body and pants that don’t mold to your legs. Until then, get used to these leggings and giant t-shirts because they are comfortable.

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.
