Why Pinterest People Are Happy People

Calling all Pinterest users. It's time for you to get the credit you deserve. The thing about Pinterest users is they really don't care about who sees their re-pinning, searches, or favorites. Pinners pin purely for self-fulfilling enjoyment.

We live in a time where social media dominates. A time where "doing it for the gram" is the only reason some people think things are worth doing at all. Pinterest people don't pin for the ratio, or reblog for the enjoyment of other people. Pinning doesn't require validation or approval. If Pinterest is your main social media platform, the chances of you being a pretty satisfied, happy human being is much higher than one who uses other platforms more.

For those of you who aren't familiar with Pinterest, here's how it goes:

1. You type in something you are looking for further information on in the Pinterest search bar.

Examples: "Recipe for paleo banana bread," "Best spots in Barcelona," "DIY jersey making," "The ultimate college grocery shopping list," or even something as important as "Get a good summer butt."

So let's go with Barcelona.

2. Suddenly, your screen is flooded with several options of exactly what you're looking for. Each "pin" is linked to an external website outside of Pinterest that is totally relevant to what you're searching.

Example: (Best spots to travel in Barcelona)

3. After clicking several pins and obtaining the maximum amount of information on the topic you're searching, if you find one that really piques your interest and you want to add it to your boards, you click the corner "save" button where it can now be accessed at any time.

I want to make one thing clear, Pinterest is commonly misconstrued as a "chick site." Make no mistake boys, Pinterest powers expand far beyond the horizons of your best girl friend planning her future wedding. There are sports, inspirational manly quotes, and recipes that chances are will help you woo a chick who uses this so-called "chick site." Just sayin'.

On a real note, Pinterest inspires and promotes goals, collaboration, going after what you want and achieving it. Hats off to Pinterest users for being the real MVPs of social media. If you don't have one, start one using this link.

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.
