The 9 Stages Of Asking Strict Parents For Permission To Do Something Sketchy

When you grow up with strict parents, invites are usually stressful and anxiety-ridden. Will my parents let me go? How will I ask them? If you have strict parents, you can probably relate to the process of asking permission for the most simple things.

1. Drafting Messages

But not too much - or they might be suspicious.

2. Sucking up to your parents before you ask for anything


You have to make sure you completed every task you were expected to do before you ask for permission.

3. Make sure to butter them up.


But not too much - or else it's suspicious.

4. Gotta make sure they are in a good mood

You have to make sure they are likely to say yes.

5. Finally, it's time to send the text...


After all, she can't kill you through the phone right?

6. The anxiety when you see the typing bubbles.

Will she say yes? Did I phrase everything correctly? Did I finish all my chores? Why is she typing so slow?

7. She might bring up some unfinished chores of yours...

Off the couch you go, quickly double checking everything in the house that you could have forgotten to do.

8. Status reports are mandatory and non-negotiable.

Don't even try and say you forgot to update them about where you were. They are nervous and need to know your location at all times.

9. But no matter what, you know they are strict because they love you.


Gotta love 'em.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
