Move Over, Michael Phelps

There's a new stud in town

Move Over, Michael Phelps

Ahh, the Olympics, aka, the best two weeks of sports that television has seen all year. The Olympics are a time when the whole world comes together to root for their home nation’s success and everyone else’s failure. Between swimming, gymnastics, fencing, cycling, basketball and any sport you could possibly imagine there is so much excitement going on that it’s hard to watch it all. Though there are over 28 different sports represented this summer, we have to be honest in saying some sports are more entertaining than others. The Olympics make swimming entertaining to watch every four years.

When it comes to swimming, there's only one name you need to know.. Phelps. Michael Phelps has been a household name for the past 12 years since his debut in Athens. The man is a stud and one of the best swimmers this world has seen. With over 23 Olympic medals under his belt, Phelps rules the pool.

All eyes should have been on Michael Sunday at the Olympic men's 400m relay qualifiers, but there was another guy who caught our eye instead: Boomer Phelps, Michael's 3-month-old son. Decked out in his patriotic colors, little Boomer rooted so hard for his dad he feel asleep before the race was over!

Thanks to mommy Nicole Johnson (the luckiest girl on Earth) we get to see all of Boomer's adorable Olympic outfits.

Can't wait to see more of Boomer? Lucky for you, he has his own Instagram page.

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.
