Middle School Glory Days

Instant Messaging:

The original iMessage. The thing we put most of our time into. Oh how we miss the days of screen names, away messages and buddy infos. The generations to come missed out on such an extravagant communication tool.

MySpace:


What better way to tell your friends how much they mean to you? The song that went with your profile, genius. And the bad a*s feeling you got when you had a MySpace without your parents knowing--irreplaceable. I mean, Tom from Myspace was everyone's first friend.

Gauchos:


The most comfortable pants that ever existed. They were like a cross between crop yoga pants and maxi skirts--not a day goes by where we don’t miss them.

Break Ups:

Why was it so easy to dump your middle school boyfriend and move on to a new guy by lunch time? Life was just too simple back then.

Income:

If you were responsible enough to babysit, you were living large. Weekly allowance and that $5 you got for lunch on half days were all you needed to survive this world.

Limited Too:


I mean, where else could you find a comfortable jumpsuit that could also be made for your Build A Bear?

MASH:


How else could you possibly get a boyfriend, a mansion, a dog and a limousine in the same day?

SIMS:

What a thrill. Long live the days of designing someone else to live in your dream world while also learning the hardships of real life.

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.
