If I Found A Magic Lamp: My Four Wishes

We have all thought about it at sometime in our life -- what would we do if we came in possession of a magic lamp? So I wanted to let you all know what I would do if I came across a magic lamp. Obviously, all typical genie rules apply, like you can't wish for more wishes, you can't bring people back to life and you can’t make anyone fall in love with you. Many of you may think that genies only allow you to have three wishes, but in this case I get four because well, I’m the author and couldn’t decide on just three.

1. To Not Be Allergic To Dairy

For my first wish I would wish that I would not be allergic to dairy anymore. When I was 16 I found out I was allergic to dairy and I honestly believe that if I was not allergic to dairy that all of my problems in life would be solved. I would finally be able to order a pizza and not have to slide that gooey delicious cheese off of it. Every time I drive by a Dairy Queen I instantly fall into a deep pit of sadness knowing that I will never be able to eat a banana crème pie blizzard with cookie dough in it again. If I get the ability to tolerate dairy my life would finally have meaning.

2. To Have A Billion Dollars

I thought about asking for unlimited money, but then I figured there would be no fun in that because going gambling would have no point, which takes all the fun out of Las Vegas, Nev. If I had a billion dollars I would buy a mansion in Los Angeles, Calif. and allow my whole Indiana State family to live there because honestly those are the most fun people I know and we have fun in Terre Haute, so I can only imagine the activities we could do if we had a billion dollars. I would also buy a monkey because I’ve always wanted to have a pet monkey named Rico.

3. The Ability To Talk To Animals

This way I can have conversations with my dogs back home and he won't just look at me like I’m an idiot and he will be able to help give me life advice. I’m not really sure if dogs have a lot of life experience, but I feel like they are always happy, so maybe they could share there secrets to being happy 24/7. Animals probably have so many secrets of life that we have never discovered. By talking to them, I would become the master of all animals.

4. The Ability To Stop Time

I would wish for the ability to stop time whenever I wanted. This way I would never be tired because if I ever wanted to sleep in or take a nap I would just stop time. Possibly the best part of stopping time would be being able to relieve myself from a stressful situation because I could just disappear. I would then probably become the most powerful man in the world and thus, probably causing me to takeover the world by brute force because I would be untouchable via the power of pausing time.

I’m not sure how getting four wishes from a genie went from me not being allergic to dairy to taking over the world with my pet monkey Rico, but I can honestly say I’m not ashamed of it. I feel like the world would be a much better place if I was the king, but I feel like that may scare some of you. I feel like I would be a great leader, that would build our empire to the strongest in Earth’s history, greater than Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar ever did. Let's just hope for the sake of humanity that I never discover a magic lamp.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
