If Mark Twain was a Frat Star...

If Mark Twain was a Frat Star...

Some famous authors lived more promiscuous lives than others. But, whether they were frat stars or not in their real life, I like to imagine them as frat stars now. First up is Mark Twain:

Mark Twain: "To succeed in life, you need two things: ignorance and confidence."
Frat Star Mark Twain: "To succeed in school, you need two things: bros and beer."

MT: "In the Spring, I have counted 136 different kinds of weather inside of 24 hours."
FSMT: "In the Spring, I have counted 136 different sorority girls in bikinis inside of 24 hours."

MT: "Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect."
FSMT: "Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, blackball for fun."

MT: "The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up."
FSMT: "The best way to cheer yourself up is to grab a beer with somebody else."

MT: "Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life."
FSMT: "Good bros, good beer and a party every day: this is the ideal life."

MT: "Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I've done it thousands of times."
FSMT: *no revision needed*

MT: "Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress; but I repeat myself."
FSMT: "Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were an independent; but I repeat myself"

MT: "Never argue with a stupid person, they will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience."
FSMT: "Never befriend an independent, they will bring you down to their level and make you wear cargo shorts."

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.
