I Tried to Write an Article With My Best Friend

And here's the seven steps of how we got distracted.

I Tried to Write an Article With My Best Friend
Emily Baxley

Writing articles can be very easy or very hard. But one thing is for sure: Your best friend makes it awfully distracting. Here is what the article-writing process looks like when your best friend is sitting nearby.

1. You start writing with the utmost determination.

You ARE going to sit down and get this article written if it's the last thing you do!


2. Random thoughts

You've got to filter out the good/bad/weird before you can clear your mind and focus on your topic...right?


3. Karaoke

Someone gets an ear worm that results in singing and reenacting the entirety of Hamilton.


4. Food run

All that karaoke works up an appetite. And you need another excuse to procrastinate.

5. Makeovers

Your friend has cute clothes and you have makeup skills. Put them together for a new look called "I Should Probably Be Writing But Instead I'm Doing This".

6. Nonsense

Things stop making sense and everything is hilarious.

(For the record, she did not actually snort glitter...this time.)


7. Falling asleep

All the "article writing" can really tire someone out! Take a quick seven hour nap and finish your article in the morning.


Shout out to Snapchat for all the fun pictures and filters.

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.
