Cut The Drama, It's Time To Grow Up

It's time to act like an adult and move on.

Cut The Drama, It's Time To Grow Up

As we mature in life, we will encounter many different people in life. Some will be in your life forever, others will come and go. However, one thing you will learn is that some people will always be stuck in that high school drama phase.

Come on people, we're all adults here. So why can't we let go of the past? All of that high school drama needs to be left in high school. It's time to move on. It's time to act like an adult.

If you get mad at someone at work, apologize and get over it. Don't hold a grudge against someone. You need to take responsibility for your own actions and realize that it's not all about you. Maybe in high school, you were the "cool kid" or "miss popularity," but this is real life. People don't care about the clothes you wear or the car you have. It's not about your hair or even your phone. We're all on this earth to live.

That's what I love about college. Literally, nobody cares. You could show up in your pajamas and people would completely understand. Everyone knows how stressful college is, so there's very little drama. We all have the same goal - make friends and get an education. So why can't we grow up and act like college students?

Once you graduate high school, you need to push all of that drama out of your life. Focus on yourself and what you want in life. We all have a low paying job to begin with; it's a learning experience. With this being said, stop judging people based on their jobs, especially if you work a job with the same pay! Working a minimum wage job motivates us to push ourselves to be better. However, acting like you're the best employee around isn't going to get you anywhere. Nobody likes a kiss-up.

Also, quit ruining other people's lives just to make yourself feel better. If you see someone having a good day, compliment them. DON'T try to bring them down. You wouldn't appreciate it if someone did that to you, so why do it to them? Do you find happiness in their misery? Do you hate seeing other people happy? Doing so is not going to get you more attention, so just quit the immature act and grow up.

Acting immature is not going to get you that big promotion or a spot on the homecoming court. Being dramatic is going to make you successful in life. People don't want to deal with people who are only going to bring them down. We all have too much going on in our lives to hold onto the grudges. Once you decide to let go of the past and start living for the future, I promise you will be much happier in life. So stop bringing others down and start lifting them up.

We're all adults here, so why can't we just cut the drama and grow up?

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
