My Generation Doesn't Need The News

c1.staticflickr.com

Sitting down everyday for about 2 hours to figure out how we need to go about our day. We are at a point where we can check our phones and withing 2 seconds know exactly the temperature is outside and the hourly updates just that simple.

So waiting an hour to get the information seems like a bit of a stretch for us. When I get caught watching the news, it honestly is such a constant eye roll because it is the same exact thing over and over in that hour.

I could have read at least 20 articles about more relevant things that affect me and could have been way less bored. I just the new doesn't go into to much of the story line. They show you a video no conclusion just some crazy point in that video.

All I am thinking is what led up to this and what happened. These are the questions the news leaves me. Now if I hop onto Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook take about 5 minutes someone will have solved the entire case with facts to back it up.

This is the number one reason why we are no longer interested in the news. More important things are happening out there. We acknowledge it and want to learn the best way we know how.

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.
