If Life Were A Remote Control

What if life was as simple as just touching a button?

Do you ever wonder what it would be like to control every part of your life? Rewind the bad times, mute the annoying ones and rewind the good ones. Seems like it would be pretty cool and most of the time helpful.

On and Off

You could decide when to wake up and go to sleep with this one button and not have to worry about an alarm or your parents waking up. Maybe you could even use this button to get out of class early. You just hit off and you can get out of class.

Exit

This could also get you out of class. Hit "exit" and you are out of that dreadful two-hour lecture or lab period. Want to get out of the horrible detention class? Just hit exit.

Mute

Oh, if there were a mute button in real life. How great would that be? Don't want to listen to another one of your parents? Mute. Tired of hearing your sister complain that you get everything you want and she doesn't? Mute. Think about all the things you could mute right now.

DVR

Wouldn't it be so cool to be able to save your favorite moments in life? Your favorite concert or your little cousin's first steps you could record and then go back and relive them. It would be nice sometimes to go back in time.

Rewind

Imagine if there was a real rewind button. Anything you ever did regret or want to change you could rewind and redo things. Or, if you wanted to go back just to experience something again, you could.

Fast Forward

With this one simple button, you could get through your hardest times. You could fast forward time slow or click the button a few more times to go faster. It is all up to you but it could change your life.

Pause, Play, Stop

Want to be stuck in the moment literally? Press pause and then when you are ready hit play. Totally over the moment? Hit stop.

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.
