Five Things My Family Taught Me At The Casino

I went to the casino with my family for the first time on Monday and these are a few of their tips for me.

These are some great tips

Don’t trust a quiet machine, turn your volume all the way up.

I'm really not sure why they thought this but whenever you did win something, everyone knows because your machine is screaming!

The ones closest to the entrance usually pay out really well.

Both of my aunts spent about an hour and a half at the first two machines when you walk in, they did decently well but I'm not sure this helpful hint worked for us on Monday.

Take your card and cash out of the machine, wait a few minutes, and put it back in.

They think the machine will think it's a new person and hopefully pay out all the money you just put in.

Make sure you know whether you’re playing a 1¢ or a $5 machine.

My grandma remembered this the hard way, she put in a $50 bill to a machine, pulled it once and it took all of her money. We think it was a $25 machine. Needless to say, she was pretty mad.

Bonus Bonus Bonus

Hitting a bonus is one of the most exciting things to do because bonus = MONEY! Both of my aunts and I played 3 machines next to each other and we were all hoopin and hollerin when we would hit the bonus wheel!

Whether or not these tips worked, I had a blast learning how to play and spending time with my crazy family. 10/10 would definitely go again and hopefully soon!

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.
