"Do You Ever Feel Like a Plastic Bag?"

Sometimes life gets the better of us- but that does not mean we do not push through.

"Do You Ever Feel Like a Plastic Bag?"
Thought Co

The other day the song “Firework” by Katy Perry just got stuck in my head for no reason. As I started to sing the lyrics in my head I never felt that the lyrics were more relevant to my life. Life is hard, sometimes it will get the best of you.

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind
Wanting to start again

As I get older the more I realize that life is so much more complex than sometimes you can fathom. Sometimes you get so lost in life you sit back and think about all the things you could have done differently and how much you wish you could start over.

Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards
One blow from caving in

Stress- that is one thing every college students understand. Especially finals week, you feel stretched thing between the end of the year, finals, friends and anything else that is going on in your life. You feel as if another thing happens you won’t be able to go on.

Do you ever feel already buried deep
Six feet under scream
But no one seems to hear a thing

Sometimes we can’t help but feel alone and sad in the world. We all feel it and we all feel like no one around us can help or will be willing to listen.

Do you know that there’ still a chance for you
‘Cause there’s a spark in you
You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the fourth of July
‘Cause baby you’re a firework
Come on show ‘em what your worth
Make ‘em go “oh, oh, oh!”
As you shop across the sky-y-y

No matter how much we go through and how much we have going on in life we always have a chance to turn things around. We as humans have so much potential. We can do anything. All we have to do is believe in ourselves. Other people will always be better and try to put us down but that doesn’t mean aren't worth anything. We are worth something and we can accomplish anything.

Thank you Katy Perry. For this song. For telling us no matter what and how we feel through out life we are always worth something and we always need to try. We can do anything. So thank you for reminding us.

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.
