First 'The Dress,' Now 'The Jacket'

Do you remember “the dress?" You know the one that no one could figure out the true colors of? The one that made you question if you should go to the eye doctor? The one that caused full on debates and probably destroyed a few friendships? So, was the dress white and gold or blue and black? I saw the dress as blue and brown, which apparently wasn’t even an option and made me question if I have been seeing everything in the wrong colors for my entire life.

Well, there is now a jacket that is recreating the dress scenario. It’s an Adidas jacket that some see as blue and white while others see as black and brown and it’s making everyone freak out all over again. The picture was first posted on Tumblr and the caption read "I hate to make a new blue/black white/gold dress meme but my friend has this jacket and she says it's white and blue but I see black and brown pls tell me what you see."


I personally see the jacket as blue and white and I’ve tried looking at it in different lighting, from different angles and on different screens but I always see it the same.There’s a science behind why you see the dress or the jacket as certain colors and no it’s not because you need to get your eyes checked. The reason we each see the jacket or the dress in different colors is because of how the brain perceives colors in daylight.

It has to do with wavelengths and light and a bunch of other brain stuff, but long story short we see colors differently. Usually, it's not noticeable, but in specific circumstances, like the dress and the jacket, we all can see colors differently. So, next time you are trying on clothes that are questionable colors you should probably ask a friend or two how it looks before you step out of the house.

So is it white and blue or black and brown? You decide.

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.
