'Brexit' Creates Worldwide Trend; Panic Ensues

The new craze that's sweeping the globe!

'Brexit' Creates Worldwide Trend; Panic Ensues
The Millennium Report

In a new trend that's sweeping the world, countries are "Brexiting" at an alarming rate. This week alone, "Byegium," "Czech-out," "Latervia" and "Italeave" have declared their independence from the European Nation.

Sundar Pichai, God of Google, said that within 0.975 seconds after leaving voting centers, millions of citizens from these countries whipped out their phones and frantically googled, "what is the EU?" He mentioned that it seems to be a tradition, as per Brexit - vote first, research later.

So what does this all mean for the economy?

Nothing good, says the International Monetary Fund, a group of smart people who know a lot more about things than I do. They predict much uncertainty in the future of Britain's economy, and the continuation of the value decrease of the pound. Which is unfortunate, because the pound is very pretty and colorful and deserves to be valued.

The fate of the other countries who are Brexiting is yet to be determined.

David Cameron, former Prime Minister of the UK, has decided to hastily abandon ship from the now-tanking country. He's decided to move to his vacation home on Easter Island. Cameron was photographed this past Wednesday peeling away to the airport in a sweet-looking t-bird, yelling, "Bye, losers!" from the car window.

When asked what they're going to do with their now-failing economy, British citizens tended to cough nervously, tug on their shirt collars and offer me some tea and biscuits, but neglected to offer a straight answer.

The former King of Canada and Minister of Moose, Stephen Harper, couldn't help but scoff when he found out about the Brexit campaign. He thought it was funny how a country historically focused on consuming every other country is now, in fact, leaving a conglomeration of countries.

Right on, Stephen.

This wave of Brexiting very closely precedes the 4th of July. On which date, four score and 240 years ago, the United States of America declared their independence from Britain.

Hm.

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.
