Lies We Tell Ourselves Every Sunday

Ah, Sunday. We all love Sundays. They mean sleeping in, eating brunch, and laying in front of the TV all day long. The thing is, Sunday is a dirty, rotten liar. It lulls us into a false sense of security that leaves us blissfully ignorant of anything besides being comfy and being lazy. We always tend to forget one important thing about Sundays; the horror that is Monday awaits us. As a result, Sunday is typically spent in a weird limbo between wanting to be productive and failing miserably. The following are some of the things we all say we're going to do, end up not accomplishing. Whoops.

Lie: I'm going to get up early in order to be super productive!

Yeah, I'll totally get up at like 8 a.m. to be one of those people that gets crap done.

Reality: Getting out of bed before 10:00 a.m. is a no-go.

Lol, no I'm not.

Lie: I'm definitely going to make myself breakfast, instead of going to get brunch.

I'll save some money and be ~domestic~.

Reality: Making my own food sucks, I'm gonna just go to brunch.

Brunch over everythang.

Lie: I'm going to get off of my couch and do something with my life, like workout.

Maybe I'll turn into one of those people who actually upholds their New Year's resolution a month later!

Reality: Who am I kidding, I'm not going to the gym.

That's far too much effort than I want to put into anything in my life, especially on Sunday.

Lie: I'm definitely going to get my homework done.

And I'm for sure gonna start it at like, noon.

Reality: Definitely going to watch Netflix all day.

Finally made a lame attempt to start it at 9, gave up by 9:30.

Lie: I'm definitely prepared for Monday morning.

I'm gonna have a great week and be super prepared for everything!

Reality: No one is ever prepared for the horror that is Monday morning.

Getting into bed and ugly crying, because I'm so unprepared for life.

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.
