Truth finally revealed!

This article has one purpose: to educate you on why climate change is not a thing. So many Environmentalists get up in arms about trying to reverse its effects, but I am unsure it even exists. I myself am an avid environmentalist but one must take a long hard look at the facts before deciding whether or not to fight the good fight. Believe it or not there are groups of people that don't believe gravity exists and believe the earth to be flat. Let's join these marvelous einsteins by calling climate change: Fake news! Let's review the evidence.

1. NASA has an evidence website, so what?

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration aka NASA has a website detailing evidence of the vital signs of climate change. We probably shouldn't listen to them though, right? These people have seen the dark side of the moon and the greater beyond. People at NASA do what we literally joke as the hardest thing to do. We make the joke "Well it's not rocket science!" They literally do rocket science! Who are they to tell us climate change is real?

2. Glaciers are retreating

There are a lot of environmental photographers and videographers recording the loss of glacial ice. It has been tracked for years. Who cares? I can re-freeze water in my refrigerator. Doesn't it work the same way for the entire earth and its intricate biospheres and ecosystems?

3. Extreme storms are increasing

So apparently in 2017 the US experienced 17 large namable storms. That does not include all the 'on again off again" crazy weather people in each region have been experiencing. The winter storms alone spanning from 2017-2018 were 19 in total. So what? I can take a little rain and wind and snow and destruction of whole cities. Can't you?

4.Ocean levels are rising

The National Oceanic and atmospheric administration (NOAA) has a simple website that says "is sea level rising?" & they state a simple 'yes'. So hm, let's think about it, the organization dedicated to recording and measuring the ocean levels rising say "yes". Oh well, I suppose we can just purify and drink it so the level will go down.

5. Air quality has decreased

Does anyone remember the Beijing Olympics back in 2008? Olympians had to wear masks to cover their mouths! Nearly 350,000 to 400,000 Chinese die prematurely due to air pollution. That is an international example but a national example would be California. I have asthma and I suppose I can just loan my inhaler to everyone so we can all breathe. Just because we can see the visual smog doesn't mean we are creating it or increasing it, right?

So I have detailed why some people believe in global climate change and its effects, but hey.... it's probably fake news, right?

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.
