If A Piece Of Paper Was A Person, This Is What It Would Think About

And then I was thrown into the trash, and another 8.5 x 11 paper replaced me.

I got a tattoo. Finally, out of the house with a hundred of my brothers and sisters and as a signature of my newfound freedom, I got the words "My Summer Project" tattooed on me. It reminds me of my elementary school years. I also got a tattoo of a flower.

Next, I walked around until I found a plastic surgeon office. "Ma'am, I want to remove some fat around my belly area. And maybe my thighs too." I got kicked out of the plastic surgery office. She handed me instructions on how to diet and exercise. It's a shame because I wanted to get some plastic surgery. In order to have unique features, I spent three months running outside. I finally got some fine looking abs. During that time, I also got a haircut.

I took a blanket with me to the beach. I placed the blanket on the sand and laid down to suntan. It was so soothing that I fell asleep. When I awoke, I realized I was stuck to the blanket. From the corner of my eye, I saw the person who heaped a bunch of sand on my arm. I tore my arm from the sand and ran around him. I lost him, but instead of being sympathetic to my cause, the people around me started to laugh at me. They even stepped on me! Someone spilled coffee on me as well. I decided I had enough.

I took an airplane, but it crashed into the sea. I swam to the best of my ability, but I started to sink. I was soaked when the lifeguard pulled me out.

And then I was thrown into the trash, and another 8.5 x 11 paper replaced me.

Oh well. At least I had a good life. In my next life, I'll make sure not to go near the water.

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.
