Why Grandmas Should Run The World

The end to bad politics has been sitting in the recliner, knitting all along.

1. They make sure that you never go hungry

World hunger. Solved. Boom.

2. They triple check that you're warm enough/cool enough for each appropriate season

Someone is without a coat for the winter? Grandmas wouldn't have that.

3. They actually care about what you think and have to say

No questioning if your voice is being heard because you know Grandma has been listening since you were in the womb.

4. They nurse you back to health (for free)

Healthcare plans and hospital bills? Not when Grandmas are around.

5. They are great judges of character

No need for expensive trials—just take them to Grandma. She will know if they're guilty.

6. They are true moral compasses—for better or worse

This is great because Grandmas would lead the world in the way it should go. This is not so great when you aren't making the best decisions and Grandma knows about it.

7. They don't believe in restricted, healthy (disgusting) school meal plans

Goodbye, questionable grayish (soy) burgers.

8. You never want to do anything that could disappoint them

Violent crimes? Yeah right, not when Grandmas run the world. Nobody wants to disappoint Grandma.

9. They're often free seamstresses

When you're broke and your clothes don't fit, just go to Grandma. She will fix everything.

10. They give you money without you even having to ask

The solution to poverty has been Grandma all along.

11. Their door/couch/kitchen is always open when you need anything

Bad days wouldn't exist. Go see Grandma; they make everything better.

12. They're in tight with Jesus

Jesus and Grandma are the best of friends. Nothing gets past the two of them.

13. They still have the power over parents

Grandmas are some of the only people that actually have a right to tell parents how they should be parenting.

14. They don't believe in punishment without a whole lot of love

You definitely know when you did something wrong, because Grandma won't hesitate to let you know. She will also shower you with love (baked goods) at the same time.

15. They can (and will) clean anything at any given time

There would be no sanitation problems when Grandmas rule the world.

16. They are prayer warriors

You need a miracle? Chances are, Grandma already knows and has been praying for it.

17. To top it all off, they have the best jokes

There would be an abundance of happiness in the world because of Grandma's jokes. (You have to laugh, even when you don't really want to.)

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.
