IF LIFE WAS LIKE A MOVIE

Life is not like a movie.

First, let me just say that a movie stays the same forever, but life is ever-changing. Some of the best movies are probably least like real life and if they are similar to real life, then such a great job they performed to make such a realistic movie, but I abstain. If life wasn't like a movie, then life would actually be more like how movies are, because a lot of movies are based on real life, or something like it. All the action, romance, and characters of movies being translated into real life, would be pretty cool, nonetheless, but think of it! Wouldn't it be awesome?! It is unfortunate that life isn't like a movie, because life would be so much more exciting, but, it really wouldn't be. If life was like a movie, life would not be like a movie.

We all dream to be cops chasing criminals, military jet-fighters, investigators, characters with our own superpowers or dominance, but how could that really fit into real life if we kept on having to save the world or stave off apocalypse from each other? Life doesn't simply work on our imaginations: Our imaginations work to life, creating multiple, mystical adventures and fun that we all create in the first place. If Life was like a movie:

1. People would treat each other with respect and hopefully, equity without having to be taught respect.


2. People would fight more, but theoretically fight less because they would enjoy and appreciate life more instead of staring lifelessly at their phones, looking for the next Superman or Wonder Woman...


3. The good "guys" would always win, but destruction and death would circumvent society. I mean, I guess the darkness would be ignored because everyone would be too preoccupied in combating amongst themselves and their enemies.

4. Everyone would have more character, more fake character, and be more open about life. Their own suffering would lead them to become better people, which would be more learning than could be ever taught in school where grades are more valued than learning!


5. People would accept each other as they would accept their love and people would be more open to accepting others. Somehow, people could find singular love and life could carry on as life would progress.


6. Movies take time to make, so does life to change, etc. Movies would become about life about movies about life. Stop irrrationalizing life because life is rational, life is complex, but life is simple, so stop trying to overdo what life would be like. It's okay to have a complacent imagination, but at some point, you have to disconnect from the media or you will become the movie.

Life works from the systems and corporations, up to the individual, the circumstances, and the ability, so don't waste your ability and don't waste life on someone else's watch because life isn't like a movie. Though we can't always control life, living is not imagining, though imagination is an integral part of life, but life is not like a movie. Life is living.

Thank you. The Pres.

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.
