The Revelations of a Math Student

So its 2016, not much has changed.

We smile, go to school; see it’s all ok.

The man on the tv, talks of weather and stocks,

While we bring on the lectures, and much of the talk,

Centered around math, who would have thought.

The numbers are fitting, together like pieces,

Fortunate enough, we have it all easy.

One problem we face, at any given time

Has an operator, mathematician, and everything's fine,

Because we know what to do, plug and chugs what they say,

But how do you do that, on this, a new day?

We are faced today, with exponential growth,

A sign of prosperity, in each and every, both

Subtractions of life, and sometime we add,

But the problem at large is still to be had.

We multiply, and divide, this country in two.

Ravenous vendors, for me and you.

We forget occam’s razor, in favor google

Instead of eliminate, we are frugal

Yet despite the odds, we cannot even

Take account, for what we were given.

A body to love, a neighbor to take.

Some bodies we judge, and others we hate.

But why does it limit, that we not set example,

Instead of irate, and all the mean tackle,

To fish out the judges, who make all the problems

Proliferate, and set the wrong idols,

For we are a people, of steady mind and no wash,

Until the day we stand, it's all the legs we will watch,

No bridging the gap, the hypotenuse,

The sin, and anger, in the small riemann misuse,

Of the american people, we’ve all become

Precociously aware, of what we’ve undone.

Civil liberties, right out the window.

No more integration, it’s all innuendo,

And although our struggles, might seem infinite,

Tomorrow will come and the sun will set.

We are the people, of the U.S. of A.

No president or congress, can say what we say,

That we are a variable, we represent

The indifference, the same, the human constant.

Take a note from math class, we can all solve,

The problems we have, with absolute resolve,

That we will continue, be nice to our neighbors,

To handle our sons, and all misbehaviour

For we do not stand, on the cusp of destruction,

When we the people, own all of the construction

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.
