The Coca-Cola Video The Entire World Needs To See

Because labels are for cans, not people. Every single person needs to see this.

The Coca-Cola Video The Entire World Needs To See

This video from Coca-Cola is one I think the world is desperate to see. No matter what age you are, no matter what religion, or what reason this was made, this is a powerful message that needs to be shared.

With all of the issues going on in the world, and all of the barriers we are creating for each other, I think this speaks volumes. Everyone is judged. Everyone judges. I am guilty of it as much as the next 21 year old girl. Yet, how much better would the world be if for a second we put those judgements aside and we actually got to know the people we labeled?

I know exactly how it feels. I’ve had more people than I can count say to me “You’re in a sorority? How are you so smart?” or even a professor call me by the name “sorority girl” and tell me that I “wouldn’t understand” just because I am in a sorority. Not to mention all of the stereotypes that come along with religion, or race, or music, like is covered in the video.

So, thank you Coke. Thank you for reminding the world that labels are for cans….not people. Let’s share this and spread the word, we can make a change. God knows the world needs one.

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.
