Thank you, Pinterest, for giving me everything I could have ever wanted.

Why I Cheated On Tumblr... With Pinterest

From the first time I clicked onto this mesmerizing website, I should have known that it would preoccupy all of my spare time. It is the one thing that seems to always be there with a vast new selection of things to look at. There are a wide range of things to explore, from do it yourself projects to recipes. There is no better way to spend time then finding a vast amount of pins to pin, that you will more than likely never look at again. There are times where the website will never lose your interest, and you will always find something that sparks a new interest.

Before my ventures on Pinterest, I was fond of Tumblr. But Pinterest was the updated version of Tumblr for me. It had everything that interested me. From looking at the super cute outfit on Tumblr, Pinterest tells me where I could buy that outfit, and how to style the pieces multiple ways. One keen thing that I appreciate about Pinterest is the fact that you can save the pins in an organized matter. Don't get me wrong — you can re-blog things on Tumblr, but good luck trying to find it again.

For me, I can get lost on Pinterest for hours at a time. I simply start out by looking up some random thing like new outfits ideas, and by the end I am pinning DIYs. At least for me when I start pinning projects and ideas, I rarely actually set out to do the project. Sometimes we try to complete the projects we see, and some succeed, while others fail. I am one of those who tends to fail, but it doesn't stop me from trying new projects.

There are sayings around Pinterest that combat the usefulness, and how easy these projects can ultimately be, or not. One of my favorites is Pinterest-Perfect, because everything on the website seems too perfect to be true. The crafts seem so easy that it would make are day to day life easier, or more fashionable. Although there are the sayings that Pinterest is perfect, there is also Pin-stressed. The idea that Pinterest makes us more stressed to make our homes, closet, and recipes perfect. Personally I tend to feel Pin-stressed, but it can't stop me from losing hours on end to the website.

This website is a great resource to help plant small ideas in your head to later accomplish. Whether that is through finding a new way to style objects in my closet, or by helping me in my current job as Resident Assistant, finding new ways to decorate a bulletin board or door decorations for my residents. This website comes rather in handy when you're lost for ideas, the never ending pins allows room for everyone to find something.

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.
