Internet Stalking can be your Greatest Talent, too

I promise this isn't creepy, I just really like knowing everything about someone.

Internet Stalking can be your Greatest Talent, too
Caity Seals

One of my greatest talents is my talent to google someone and somehow stumble upon, for example, their voter ID. Now, before you start thinking 'Wow she is such a creep!' and exit my article, I just want everyone to know that I like knowing things about people I've met. Sometimes it is a little useful to know if my new coworker is a hardcore supporter of Donald Trump when I am currently subscribed to HillaryClinton.org email updates. Google is my best friend, and in this little how to article, it will be yours too.

To begin, open google in your browser (unless you use google chrome like me then just use the search bar at the top). Search the name of the person. For example, lets use me. So if you wanted to find my entire life out, you could open google, search "Caity Seals." When I search this, the first thing that pops up is my Twitter (@caitythekitty follow me), but, as I continue looking, I found some old newspaper articles from when I won a theatre award in high school. I found some of the old Prezis I made in middle school.

If you want to get even better, you could search with a location, now, mine wasn't very good. My twitter popped up again and so did some more articles about my theatre award. But I can confirm, searching one of my coworker's names didn't bring up anything really, but when I added his location to the end, I wish I could have you all see the results. As I mentioned earlier, I found his voter ID. I found his sibling's facebook (he doesn't have one). His voter ID was my favorite, but I also was able to find some of his old blogs from high school. Its crazy, what you can find on google.

Now, this is a pretty dumb article, but I just want you readers to take away that you should open a new tab and google yourself. Its crazy what the internet says about you that you don't know it is saying (and go ahead and google that cutie you work with, too. You never know what you'll find).

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.

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.
