Pay Day Versus The Rest Of The Month

I'm rich! I'm rich! Well, for like eight days.

Pay Day Versus The Rest Of The Month

Pay day can be the best day, but the rest of the month can be a bit of a struggle. When you get paid, you're on top of the world and can do any buy anything. The only problem is, you buy everything and then you end up eating peanut butter sandwiches for the last two weeks of the month.

1. Going Out

Pay Day: We should do this every night. We're never going home.

The Rest of the Month: You guys go on without me, I'm going to sit at home drinking water.

2. Shopping

Pay Day: Oh my gosh, I can get all those things I've been wanting all month. Let's hit three malls and all the stores and the outlets.

The Rest of the Month: Window shopping is a lot less fun than it sounds.

3. Getting Gas

Pay Day: Full tank! I'm going to get all the gas.

The Rest of the Month: And $5.00 even. That should last me for the week, right?

4. Eating Out

Pay Day: Let's go somewhere with table clothes and candles and eat steak!

The Rest of the Month: They have a dollar menu right?

5. Groceries

Pay Day: I need fresh produce and organic, grass fed meat and name-brand cereal.

The Rest of the Month: Kraft is how much?! *Grabs Great Value mac-n-cheese*

6. Makeup

Pay Day: Sephora, Sephora, Sephora.

The Rest of the Month: Physician's Formula is pretty much the same thing.

7. Toilet Paper

Pay Day: *buys all the Charmin you can carry*

The Rest of the Month: *steals the one-ply toilet paper from the work bathroom*

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.
