'What Happens In Vegas, Stays In Vegas' Doesn't Excuse Cheating On Your Partner

Las Vegas' motto may be "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas," but I would like you to remember this is simply a marketing strategy. Cheating on your significant other in Vegas is not fair to you or your partner. If you're finding yourself cheating every time you travel, why are you even in a relationship?

Monogamy still applies in Vegas. If you get married in Vegas, your marriage is valid in the entire United States. If you have sex in Vegas and get an STI, that STI comes back from Vegas with you!

So, if you cheat on your partner in Vegas and pretend like it doesn't count, you are a trash person. Absolute dumpster fire. Cheating is absolutely unacceptable and allowing your partner to think that you were faithful when you were traveling WHEN YOU WERE NOT is garbage behavior. Cheating causes trust and intimacy issues that can be difficult to resolve, especially depending on how much time passes between the affair and the partner finding out about the affair.

Of course, Las Vegas is the obvious example here. But, this applies to anyone who travels and cheats. Don't be that person! Be loyal to your partner or break the f*ck up with them! Own up to what YOU really want. Nobody is forcing you to be in a relationship, so make sure you're actually happy with who you're dating. If your first instinct when you go to Vegas is to seek out someone else, you might be happier single.

My point here is to be respectful and loyal to your partner, even when you're traveling. If you find that too difficult, then you're with the wrong person! Relationships are supposed to be an enjoyable part of life, so why not date someone you're happy to be with?

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.
