Your Brain On Gossip Girl

You know you love me.

Your Brain On Gossip Girl

Dorota!

You wake up and somehow, your suburban house is an Upper East Side penthouse. You walk downstairs in your silk bathrobe (big t-shirt and same sweatpants you've worn to bed for three nights) and sit, awaiting your maid to make you breakfast. When no one does, you exasperatedly get up and make it yourself. Don't they know how hard it is to be you? You can never find good help these days.

You get dressed in your uniform, even though your school doesn't have a uniform, and make your way to a school filled with Manhattan's elite. Manhattan's elite are acting a lot like normal kids, and no one else is wearing a uniform. And no one wants to go sit on the steps of the MET with you for lunch, because the MET is hours away from your school. Whatever.

You go home and call up your fabulous best friend to see if she wants to go get drinks at the hotel bar. She asks what you're talking about, that you could never get into a bar, and if you need her to call someone for you. She's probably just having another one of her episodes, but you wouldn't want to see her get sent back to that boarding school in Connecticut. That would suck.

Well, if she's not down, you could call the guy you've been on and off with for a while. I mean, it is his family's hotel, he could probably pull some strings and get you in. You call him, and call him, and call him, and he doesn't answer. Ugh, this is exactly why you're on and off. Three little words- answer the phone!

So, no big plans for tonight. Whatever, it's fine, you'll just spend a relaxing night in with champagne and caviar brought to you by your maid while you relax in a bubble bath.

Or, you'll just spend another night in bed with good ol' Ben and Jerry's, your laptop, and the next season of Gossip Girl on Netflix per usual.

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.
