WARNING/DISCLAIMER:

Okay, I'm about to touch on a very controversial and much debated subject. I know it's kind of touchy, and I won't express my fire and ice opinions about it too much. Instead I'll give a list of options, in which you can choose for yourself with is the best choice (I'll try my best to be as unbiased as I possibly can about this topic).

Which way is the best way ... to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?

Option 1:

Step 1: Gather ingredients (peanut butter, your choice of brand, chunky or smooth; jelly, choice of brand and flavor; and choice of bread.)

Step 2: Always start with the peanut butter (obviously... it is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich of course… order of operation, my friends). Use a butter knife to spread the peanut butter on one slice of bread.

Step 3: Grab your jelly and use the butter knife to spread the jelly on the other slice of bread.

Step 4: Take your two slices of perfectly saturated bread and place them together (make sure that each side of the bread shape lines up perfectly, like so...)


Step 5 (optional): Cut off crust or cut diagonally or horizontal. Any way you choose, as long as it's even. The key to a perfect sandwich is having the perfect consistency and precision.

Option 2:

Step 1: Gather same ingredients as option 1.

Step 2: Mix perfect amounts of both peanut butter and jelly together. Consistency is key. Mix until well blended. Then mix again (because like your contour, you must blend until it's just right).

Step 3: Take one slice of bread and spread your perfectly blended peanut butter and jelly on it. (Depending on the amount of sweetness you can handle, you can chose to put the mixture on both slices.)

Step 4 (optional): Same as Step 5 for option 1. Choose how you would like to cut you sandwich, as long as it is even and precise.

Option 3:

Now, if you'd like to make a sandwich that's equivalent to my life, then you want to just completely screw it up.

Step 1: Pick your ingredients (for this option, just use whatever you have in your fridge, any kind of substitutes work, because it's gonna taste like crap anyway).

Step 2: Spread whatever peanut butter (or substitute) you can find and slather it on your bread.

Step 3: Repeat process of step 2 except with jelly, or other alternative.

Step 4: This is the part where you basically knock your sandwich slices on the floor, sticky side DOWN!

Step 5: Go sulk in bed and rethink all of your screw ups and why life treats you this way.

And if you'd like to add a little flare, add marshmallow puff crème or a banana or any other food item you'd enjoy with peanut butter and jelly.

Also, don't forget to add your glass of milk.

EAT, DRINK, AND ENJOY!!!

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.
