An Ode To Five Below

Thank you for being the true MVP; my wallet appreciates it.

An Ode To Five Below

Some people call you a glorified dollar store, but they are so wrong. You are so much more than a glorified dollar store to me. This store was basically made for students in college. There is just about everything that we could need here. Every time I shop here, I almost never leave the store empty handed.

I'm not going to lie, a lot of the things in my room right now are from you. You are definitely a hidden gem to those who have never heard of you before. If I know that I'm going to need some organizational items, you are the first place I think of going to. Since everything is reasonably priced at five or below, you're a perfect stop for the broke college student in need of some over-the-door hooks or storage bins. Thank you for always being one step ahead of my thoughts and helping me organize my life.

Don't even get me started on the tech area! Screen protectors and cases for days for just about every device out there from smartphones to tablets. Chargers galore! Although the chargers aren't the best all the time, they serve their purpose for the time being. I can always count on you for having the coolest looking accessories for my iPhone. Thank you for having six feet chargers so I can sit comfortably in my bed and binge watch Netflix off of my phone.

To avoid the "Freshman 15" (or to work it off) you have a great assortment of fitness items conveniently priced with the college students wallet in mind. If I don't want to go to the gym, I can simply purchase some weights and a foam roller and I am good to go. Thank you for allowing me to achieve zen in my room on my reasonably priced yoga mat.

You are definitely the place I hit up before I have a movie night with my friends. Everyone can get their favorite candy (and even their second favorite) without breaking the bank. Thank you for not judging me when I buy more candy than I probably should be buying.

Although college students don't typically need a lot of physical school supplies besides their laptop, I always rely on you to supply me with items to refill my desk with. Pens for note-taking an paper to take the notes on. Crayons and markers for all of those adult coloring books and even tape to put up my masterpieces! Thank you for allowing me to express my creativity in an inexpensive way.

You are really the best thing that has ever happened for some college students. You never cease to amaze me with your ways of getting me to spend my money there. You're just amazing in every-way possible and I'm so grateful for 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.
