Expectations Vs. Reality – What A Girls Weekend Actually Looks Like

Planning a girls' weekend is tough when you have to deal with eight different schedules. These types of things have to be planned a year in advance to make sure no one has something going on that particular weekend. Once everything is finalized, the countdown begins, materials are ordered and the alcohol is bought.

When we talk to guys about eight girls going away, they have a wide range of answers going from one extreme to another. They believe that we go to hook up with guys and go wild or that we get in our PJs and watch movies all night. We laugh because little do they know what actually goes on during the weekend. Girls like to get away to hang out with friends; relax; forget about real life, like jobs and money. They go to catch up with old friends and just have a good time.

Expectations : Reality

We sit and braid each other's hair : We drink excessive amounts of alcohol

We have pillow fights, munch on popcorn and watch movies in our PJs : We are just as savage as the guys

We go to “hook-up” with every guy in the club : We dance with each other in a circle

Eat healthy meals : Shoving pizza, fries and chicken fingers in our mouths

Remembering the night before : Looking at Snapchat videos to relive the night before

Having a normal breakfast : Funneling beer at 8:30 in the morning

Having a girls' weekend is all about having fun. Staying up late, laughing hysterically at the stupidest things, dancing in the car, making friends with Uber drivers and dancing all night long with each other. The weekend usually goes by way too fast and, before you know it, it’s already Sunday. You squeeze one another tight in a hug you don’t want to let go of. Right away, the group chat starts up and it feels like the weekend never ended.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
