Why I Don't Want To Write This Week

Life can get crazy, and you have to prioritize.

Why I Don't Want To Write This Week
Shyanne White

If you haven't realized by now that every single week I publish an article, just take my word for it. I do. Every week I have to think of something to write about. Something I hope many people will read, but not many do. Something I actually put my effort into, but see no reward in. That's why, this week, I submitted my article late. This isn't something I normally do. I'm usually very good about meeting deadlines, but this week was crazy busy, and writing was my last priority. Maybe some of you can relate to this. Maybe some of you really weren't feeling that English paper that was assigned two weeks ago and is now due tomorrow. Or maybe you don't. You see no reward. So here you are. Here are some reasons maybe both you and I didn't want to write this week.

1. You have other work to do that is more important.

2. Everything is piling up, and you're simply overwhelmed.

3. Finals, duh.

4. You enjoy doing other things, too.

5. You physically had no time to sit down and brainstorm of things to write.

6. You forgot.

7. You're too stressed.

8. You feel like your effort isn't going to be recognized, and that hurts.

9. You have a life.

10. You literally cannot think of something to say.

11. Who's actually going to read it?

12. Will anyone actually care?

13. Why do you need a reason?

14. Your computer decided to hate you.

15. Just because, OK?

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.
