“I love bread”- Oprah Winfrey

I watched this commercial while sitting in the TV room of my sorority house one night before dinner and it spoke to me. It spoke to everyone sitting in the room. We all love bread.

“Bread is the reason my thighs look like this” really should have been my senior quote in high school but I naively chose the sappy and nostalgic route instead. I now realize the mistake I made.

Bread is one of the most versatile foods, along with potatoes, which in my opinion also deserve their own article. There is white bread, potato bread, wheat bread, rye bread, there's probably a whole world of different kinds of breads I haven't even heard of yet. My favorite of all bread products are bagels. If I were to go on 'My Strange Addiction', it would most certainly be for my appreciation of bagels. There is literally no faster way to get me out of bed in the morning than telling me that there are bagels in the kitchen. My pantry in my college apartment currently has two loaves of bread, two bags of bagels, English muffins and box of croutons.

Those people who don't eat the bread at restaurants who think they're being "healthy" are just weak minded folk and natural selection is coming for them.

Over summer I wrote an article about giving up carbs and it was an awful experience I would recommend to no one, because not only was I crabby 24/7 but I wasn't allowed to eat bread and that will change your life for the worse. After the aforementioned experiment was over, or when I cut it off early because I missed bread too much, I had a new found appreciation for what I had given up.

So yes, I will go to Panera and get a bread bowl AND bread as my side. Yes, at Cheesecake Factory the waitress will bring over three baskets of bread before the meal even comes out. Yes, at Einstein Bagels I get two bagels in between classes. Yes, when there is cornbread at my sorority house, I eat no less than three pieces. And no, I do not care.

This was 100% an entire article describing my love for bread and I had a wonderful time writing it.

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.
