Due to recent events, I feel compelled to write this chronology of Chipotle. Many of you will feel the struggle, however, I always order my food online. Unfortunately today the website was busted so I couldn't get a pick-up time at my local 'Potle so I was forced to walk in there like a plebian. I won't make the same mistake twice...too costly.

1. It starts in my car, swerving to avoid the people who just back their cars out without even looking.

2. After parking safely, I walk up to the door hoping against hope there's no line today.

3. To my dismay, I make it about one centimeter into the restaurant to discover the line is to the door.

4. Feeling a mix of hunger pangs and regret for not ordering online, I begin to question my dedication to this fine Mexican grill known as Chipotle. How bad do I want to eat here?

5. I take a look outside to see that Tennessee Street is backed up with traffic all the way to Blountstown. The amount of time it would take to get food somewhere else is an unbearable thought.

6. I'm here so I might as well stick it out. Let's check Instagram or call my third Aunt Linda who I haven't talked to since Christmas of 2008. That ought to take up some time.

7. I'm almost to the counter. White rice, black beans...White rice, black beans...White rice, black beans...

8. I'm here only to realize they're out of steak. Guess it's just chicken today boys...

9. Wait! They said they're making some right now! It's a good day when I can go half and half at Chipotle.

10. Time to pay and get home so I can watch Netflix while I eat.

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.
