The 'Mamma Mia!' Quote I Live By
Skyler Anderson

Now, my favorite movie of all time is "Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again," this movie is my dream. I would kill to be young Donna (played by Lilly James). One quote that stuck with me from this movie is, "Life is short, the world is wide, I wanna make some memories."

Let's break this down. Life is short. On average you have about 70 years on this earth and for a good chunk of those, your parents get to decide what you do. Then, with all the things to do in this world, will you have enough time to do it all? Pus, calculate in the time you have to spend working and doing all the parts of daily life, you have even less tie than you thought. And, you never know what can happen, you aren't promised another day.

The world is wide. A true statement. The world is wide and vast and there is so much to see. One hundred and ninety-five countries. That's a lot. There are also wide differences around the world, so many cultures to be enriched with.

I wanna make some memories. Pretty self-explanatory.

Here's the summary. I'm not guaranteed any amount of time on this earth, I want to use it while I have it. I have a lot of ground to cover in this wide world. And you can bet your money I'm gonna make some memories while doing it.

I want to travel to as many countries as possible and meet more people than I can remember so that I can connect and feel like I have come to understand this world. But, I also want to make some crazy memories. I want to skydive, I want to bungee jump, I want to swim with sharks, I want to travel alone and be perfectly terrified and perfectly in awe at the same time. Because...

"Life is short, the world is wide, I wanna make some memories." — Donna Sheridan

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
