The Man Who Drunkenly Booked a Flight

The lemons life hands you can definitely be turned into tasty lemonade.

The Man Who Drunkenly Booked a Flight

If you think getting a tattoo when you're drunk is crazy, you should know about the man who drunkenly bought a plane ticket to another country. A Scottish man by the name of Jamie Ather, had booked a flight to Rio after an apparently awesome night of clubbing. It is said that he had no dream of going to South America at all, and he had no recollection of even booking this vacation at all. He had checked his email a couple days later, and to his surprise, there was an email that said his flight was confirmed.

After a while of debating whether he should waste the mere $800, or take his mistake and make something out of it, he decided to go anyway. He had planned an itinerary for his trip. In it, included Copacabana Beach, Iguazu Falls (Brazil and Argentina Border), the Inca Trail (Machu Picchu, Peru), and a sloth sanctuary in Bahia. This drunken mistake had turned out to be an awesome vacation for him. He had no regrets.

The fact that he was blackout drunk when he booked it is hilarious, but the fact that he decided to actually go is amazing. Who wouldn’t want to visit a sloth sanctuary, let alone Rio? It kind of makes me want to plan a trip (sober, I’m 18). I need a foreign, tropical vacation! Seriously though, my last vacation was to Florida (Universal Studios).

Let’s talk about sloths! Have you heard the noise they make? So cute! Their faces are adorable. They are truly a lot of people’s spirit animal. Their name is cute. Last but not least, Sid.

When life hands you a trip to Rio, take it full on! Make that "lemonade" worth it.

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.
