Are Relationships The New Cosmo?

Giving seasonal a whole new meaning

Are Relationships The New Cosmo?
http://www.drodd.com/html7/cosmopolitan-drink.html

Seasons, like cosmopolitans, are cyclical—one minute we are quite in love with the drink and the next minute it's out like the wind on a spring morning. Sex and The City remind us that cosmos are tried and true, they are like the books that never go out of style, the dresses you never forget to wear, and the friends you always keep no matter the season. Have relationships become the new cosmo?

Millennials seem to throw out relationships like the weather changes in Georgia. First, you’re in and then you’re out, you become tired and boring—nothing to satisfy the short attention span we have grown accustomed to. Relationships are like a rare sale you find at your favorite store. The moment you see the sale, you realize you must look. There’s no harm in looking and while you’re there you find the perfect sheath dress and not to mention peep toes to go with. Who can argue with a sale so great? That’s like finding the perfect guy. It’s the sale you never expect but it happens anyways and you can’t say no.

But what happens after the sale, when you go home and try on your new outfit? You then realize that perfection doesn’t really exist and something will happen to that dress—to the shoes. You can’t return them, which is where we need to take the next step and realize that the only way to find our slight need of perfection is to take care of what you have—that way you no longer have a spring only relationship, but one that lasts year round.

For those who are still looking for that rare sale, don’t worry—it’ll be here before you know it. In the meantime, grab the girls and a Cosmo—these two will never go out of style.

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.
