College Girl

Wash your clothes on Sunday so you are ready for the week; wash new clothes before you wear them; when buying new clothes, be sure it is modest; do not buy crop tops or ripped up jeans; try not to look like the slut you are so bent on becoming; always eat your greens and protein; don't become that annoying girl counting calories and only buying organic; this is how to be healthy; this is how to post on social media making you look healthy; don't post too much on social media; post updates for your family; don't post for attention and make yourself look like the slut I know you are so bent on becoming; this is a list of colleges that will make you look good on social media; this is a list of schools that will make you happy; this empty list is both; don't pick a college based off of school rankings; don't pick that school, that school is not prestigious enough; don't go out on weekends and become that slut I know you are so bent on becoming; don't stay in all the time and become a prude; this is how to drink coffee in a coffee shop; this is how to look hipster; this is how to look professional; make sure to drink your water; don't get up and in class to use the restroom; make sure to get enough sleep so you don't have those ugly bags under your eyes; volunteer, work, and get good grades; don't go to bed until your homework is done; school is your priority; do not take a loan out for college; go to whatever school feels right no matter the price; have fun on your weekends and make memories; work during every spare moment of your time; this is how to date; this is how to look like a lady; do not chase after boys; have women in your life that will help you recgonize the slut I warned you from becoming; it's okay to change schools if it doesn't feel right; don't switch schools too soon; try harder to make friends; go to every social gathering; spend time with yourself; love yourself before loving others; Are you really that self concerned and obsessed?; get up and work out; wear this to the gym so you don't look like a slut that you are so bent on becoming; this is how to get good grades; this is how to build a good resume; this is how to make friends; this is how to wake up after a night full of prayers that you wouldn't; this is how to make the best out of your current situation; but what if I'm at the wrong college?; you mean to say after all that you are really going to be the kind of women who transfers?

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.

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.
