The brave, the few, the messy.

Embrace It, You're A Hot Mess

You were late today, you can't find anything in your room, and you're extremely prepared to rock your hair and makeup from last night's events. It's true, you're a hot mess. We all have days where we feel like our lives are in shambles. However, there are a select few of us that get the pleasure of owning this feeling majority, if not all, of our days. OK, fine, it's not always pleasurable, but it keeps life a lot more exciting this way.

1. No matter how hard you try you are ALWAYS late. But if we're being honest, you're probably still in bed at the time you're supposed to be showing up.


2. You lose everything. You've gotten your apartment keys replaced for the sixth time this semester and it's a new record low.


3. An average night out doesn't just consist of contacting the wrong person; that would be too easy. You have probably landed in a thorn bush somewhere. Keep in mind it's still pretty hot out and you have to wear summer clothes to class and the next to weeks you're body is still covered in scrapes. Rock those scrapes, girl. That night probably made a great story.

4. You frequently get texts messages from your roommates asking about your status because they haven't seen you come out of your room in over 48 hours.

5. Your style is out of this world. Let's be honest, you've had that shirt on for three days now and your makeup is a mixture of two nights ago and a little bit of foundation you tried to blend in today.


6. The truth is you've probably attempted to clean your room, but the reality is that your floor has never completely seen the light of day due to the heaps of clothes that get thrown around.

7. You're never organized. And you're honestly fine with it.

RIP to the Kate Spade agenda you bought in August, along with the colored gel pens in an attempt to get your life together that have never been used. Let's face it, you're just never organized.

8. Stains are more attracted to you than the male species

That white dress you just bought? Forget it, the first night you wore it you spilled red liquid all over it. No, literally your dress turned more red than it was white.

9. What is an actual meal?


You haven't bought groceries in, well, you don't even remember how long. You consider yourself a professional snacker. Some chips and guac for breakfast and maybe some leftover mac and cheese for lunch/dinner.

10. Every once in a blue moon there is a productive day that makes its way into your life. With every productive day, you have to reward yourself whether its an extra cup of coffee or a large pizza that you probably can't even afford.


11. Eventually everything works out. It may be rocky getting there, but somehow at the end of the day you always manage to pull it all together.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
