So for my girlfriend and I’s one year anniversary, I decided to get her a dozen doughnuts. Now usually I don’t like spending tons of money BUT I wanted to treat her right. So I decided to get our favorite doughnuts from SoDough Baking Co. I even called ahead to preorder them. When I asked them about how much it would cost, the lady never told me. Soooo I said bump it and picked them up the next day, and to my surprise, the total was $29.00….

I repeat $29.00, plus tax. I couldn’t believe what she just said. I was so confused on how six strawberry and cinnamon sugar sprinkled doughnuts costed $29.00. Then she told me that I preordered online and received a discount. I got so relieved. But we live in a world where things don’t go the way they seem and then the price literally dropped from $29.00 to $27.00.

This is what I like to call, “27 Things I could buy with $27.00”

1. I could buy six and a half $4 for 4 meals at Wendy’s.

2. Any ticket at AMC plus a small popcorn.

3. At Least 4/5 shirts from Old Navy $5 discount sale (plus tax).

4. A 24-pack of alcohol from any liquor store.

5. Three dozen krispy kreme doughnuts ($7.99 each) plus tax.

6. A haircut from my barber plus the tip.

7. 24/26 Items from Dollar Tree.

8. Two shades at Zumiez (Usually range from $10-$13 plus tax).

9. Using $27 is filling up my tank for my Ford Taurus.

10. A candle from Yankee Candle.

11. A dress shirt from Stein Mart.

12. About 10 different meal combinations at Mcdonalds.

13. Two and a half months of music prescription.

14. A premium gym membership at any affordable gym.

15. Small drink at AMC.

16. About three to four drinks from any bar in Tallahassee.

17. Four pizzas at Hungry Howies.

18. Four meals at Burger King19. A family size bucket plus fries plus drinks at Guthries.

20. Three apple chargers from Walgreens.

21. Five different types of $5 wines at Trader Joes.

22. Two months of a Netflix subscription.

23. A blanket from Kohl’s.

24. 27 $1 DVD’s at Walmart in the discounted bin.

25. About four to five Lucky Goat Tally Bombs (Might want to check their prices because it went up).

26. Buy a book at Books A Million.

27. Athletic gear at Academy.


At the end of the day, I am not mad at SoDough Baking Co.. Trust me. I enjoy their business and delights whenever I get the chance too. I just think it’s crazy that the dozen was so much! This is why you always have to ask questions.

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.
