Does this line ever get shorter?!

8 Things To Do While Waiting In Line
Alicia Steels

“Oh My Gosh the line is ONLY 50 minutes long let’s go!” ….. Only 50 minutes?!!!!

Even in the most magical places, like Disney World, there are some (long!) lines. Don’t let that make you frown because there are ways to make the wait a lot of fun.

1. “Heads Up”

This fun app lets you play on your phone and interact with people! Which is totally a win win. Pick a category and let the guessing begin… “He’s a famous mouse”….”Oh..Um...Mickey” Ding Ding one answer right now keep going before time runs out!

2. Would You Rather

You never know what new fun facts you will learn about someone with this game. Running out of questions to ask? Check out the app store for more fun questions!

3. Give an impromptu speech

Speeches are not just for a classroom. Come up with a silly topic like soap, bananas, or pancakes and let the ranting (speaking) begin. You can time it for fun or just see where it goes. Can't think of a topic. Don't be afraid to ask the person in front of you or behind you for one!

4. Pass the clap

clap at the same time with the person next to you. Then turn to the next person and do the same. Can you go around the circle with only one clap?

5. M.A.S.H.

This game is not just for junior high sleepovers! You will be surprised at how fun it can be dreaming up a very different life. Get very creative with your answers, after all who say’s you have to stick with Mansion, apartment, shack and house. What if you would rather live in a tent or a yacht?! Don’t have paper, there’s a digital version on the app store.

6. A..B..C…

There are various games you can play with the alphabet.

-Try creating a story using the letters. “A young girl..” “Better watch out because”... “Cars go fast..”

-Take the alphabet and choose a category like fruits “Apples..” “Bananas..” “Carrots…”

7. The number game

The alphabet isn't the only one who can have fun...counting can be a blast. The challenge?! Count to 10 (or higher if the line isn't getting shorter!) without two people saying the same number. No hand gestures!

8. Concentration

It’s time to go old school. From bus rides to recess you were the Queen Bee of this game… but are you still?!! Time to find out. “Concentration...no repeats or hesitations the category is… Disney Movies”

Bonus points if you can get the people in line next to you to join in on your games!

“Wait...are we really almost there?!”

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.
