Dear Mother Nature -

Over these past couple days I have realized that it seems like you and I are not on the same page when it comes to certain things. So here are 5 things that you need to change because it is not ok, especially during the first week of school. The first time during all semester when you have to look somewhat ok, but also walk a ton because you don't know where you are going and get lost constantly.

The humidity should not make me feel like I am in a sauna.

Let's be honest, I do not really understand what humidity is good for but what I do know is that it actually sucks. I should not walk out of my air conditioned sanctuary and straight into a sauna or steam room. My skin should not turn tacky and my hair should grow seven times it's normal size. So please, turn it down a notch so that I can live my life outdoors.

The sun needs to turn it down a notch. Maybe five. 

Personally, I love to be out in the sun and getting my tan on but, there is a point where being outside is the same as hopping into my oven. I should not walk outside to a sun that is blaring so hard, that I feel like I need to wear sunscreen when I am sitting next to a window. So if the sun could turn it down at least 10 degrees, that would be great.

Wind is a thing. Use it please.

If you are going to make it as hot as it is and with the humidity levels that they are, the least you could do is giving us a nice cool breeze. It would at least allow me to not feel like I will never breathe a fresh breath of air again. Or that I am taking a hot shower all day long. Having just a little breeze would let me feel happier, and then I wouldn't have to put this all on you.

Give us some shade or something...


Yes I know that the lack of trees is definitely our fault, but maybe you could just find a way to give us some more clouds. Being in the shade legitimately makes it so much colder and allows the world to be manageable. So if you could pull some clouds into the sky I would be very happy.

Can it just be fall already?

Honestly, I would be so much happier if it was just fall time already. I want to wear sweaters, drink warm drinks, wear my uggs and just generally be happy again. So if you could just rush summer along already and get to the best part of the year I would be very grateful.

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.
