Bae Isn't Actually Your Bae

He's texting four other girls and went home with some rando last night.

It's 2015. Apple just announced they're releasing the iPhone 6's soon; blind people are receiving mind-blowing surgeries to see for the first time, Chick-fil-A will be open on Sundays, and we're probably close to finding aliens somewhere. So why in the world is our generation having so many issues with relationships?

Now I understand we're young and this is the time to have fun. But hey, did you ever hear your grandma mention "your grandpa used to be such a rat, he cheated on me so many times," while you're listening to her talk about the good ole days. It may be a different century, since grams has been on a date, but she has a point. Everyone is so concerned with how a relationship "should be" that they skimp out on the actual, meaningful memories. When every college boy is concerned with finding a girl to "Netflix and chill" with, and every girl just wants to be able to tweet about "bae," we just keep jumping into relationships with people we don't even really care about. And that's when we start going out, forgetting we're taken, and going home with someone who isn't our significant other.

Now I'm not here to lecture, shoot I've been doin' me and happily loving life for awhile now, but I get so confused when I see girls/boys crying and screaming over their significant other. Like C'MON, why are you being so mean to the person who is supposed to be your best friend, fave person to snuggle with, and all the rest of that stuff?

Our generation has reached a point where we don't actually want to take the time to get to know someone who could potentially be our soulmate because they could also potentially break our hearts. But don't you think it's worth it to find out? What happens if you lost the chance to be happier than you've ever been because you were too busy Netflix and chillin', swiping on Tinder, or wasting time on a someone who doesn't care, to actually spend time to get to know someone?

So listen: Stop talking to a million potential baes at once. STOP please STOP letting each of them think they're entitled to you and all you have to offer while they're doing the same thing with multiple other people. (Why are you all so okay with sharing? Or am I just selfish...) We give Taylor Swift so much crap for publicly dating so many different guys over YEARS, yet we're doing the same thing. Maybe we should try to be better people for once? I'm not trying to be a mom here, I'm just trying to understand when we all lost our hearts.

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.
