Cheesy Pick-Ups with Friends

The experiment where I sent pick-up lines to friends, family, and my boyfriend when I'm one of the least affectionate people, like ever.

Cheesy Pick-Ups with Friends

Tinder is a wonderful app that allows you to meet new people and explore your flirty side. I wanted to take an opportunity this week to do some funny experiments, and while Tinder would be wonderful, there was a few issues:

  1. My boyfriend and I had a really cute moment and were sitting next to each other and decided to delete our Tinder accounts.
  2. I was not going to create another Tinder account out of respect of my boyfriend and that’s just too much work.

Then it hit me. I could do a similar experiment but with the people I’m already friends with. I’m not a very sensitive person (to say the least), so I knew this was going to catch a few people off guard. Here were my results:

  1. My cousin Trisha. I share like no affection towards her, even though she knows I love her and she’s basically my sister. She didn’t even think I was the one who sent her the message, and directly accused my boyfriend! Sorry, Josh.

2.) My friend LC: Instead of getting caught off guard, LC decides to lay out some valuable advice. Hopefully someone out there can take this to heart! :P

3.) My Boyfriend, Josh: Apparently, I have lost all control, and cannot be tamed. Thanks for understanding what you’ve gotten yourself into!

4.) My cousin, Deena: Who by far had the best response. Calf births are are always 100x more important than dealing with my shenanigans.

In the end, my friends, family and boyfriend all know me too well to take me seriously when I send silly things, especially anything remotely affectionate. I would like to take this time, though, to just say thank you to everyone in my life for dealing with my shenanigans and to let them know that I do love you all, a lot.

Also, welcome to the world, Trudy!

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.
