Crushed Ice Cream, Phone, And Ego

One day, I was longboarding to a work center building on campus for a project I was doing. I had to bring a sheet of wood and some ice cream to the building. I had my phone in my back pocket, the sheet of wood underneath my armpit, and two cups of ice cream in both of my hands, all while longboarding. I was coming around this sharp corner and there was this girl right there. I was confident that I could whip right passed this girl, so I didn't slow down. But, then a really hot guy popped out of no where, I got distracted by his beautiful face, still didn't slow down, and I had to turn way sharper than I was prepared for. My back right wheel got caught on the sidewalk and the whole board stopped while I flew forward. Preparing for impact, I turned my whole shoulder, and scraped my whole back on the concrete. I spilled the ice cream all over myself, my phone was complelety crushed, but luckily I saved the sheet of wood that was necessary for my project. The hot guy, who in all honesty caused my crash, stopped and asked if I was okay. Of course I said I was fine, even though I was covered in ice cream and was in the worst pain of my entire life. I was too embarrased to say everything on my body hurt.

Nothin' But Shower Flops

A few weeks ago, I took a shower in my dorm. We have community bathrooms, so I have to leave my room to shower. When I was going back to my room, I realized I got locked out. So, I had to go to the main lobby to get a key to get inside of my room. Of course, all I had on was my towel. When I got to the lobby, my towel fell off in front of a crowd of people. It was a nightmare. Everybody was trying to not laugh at me, but they couldn't stop themselves, which just made everything worse. All I had on were my shower flops. My thighs were so white, you couldn't miss me. All the girls were giggling. Sometimes, I still get flashbacks in that lobby. Needless to say, I've never locked myself out again.

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.
