The One Pleasant Part Of Our Weather Is Actually Unpleasant

It's nice to have warm weather in February, right? Well, not so much.

Don't get me wrong, I'm the kind of person who enjoys the warm weather. I generally don't like to go outside and find myself freezing to death, so I'll take any 60-degree afternoon I can get. On the one hand, it's nice to not have to go outside in February with a large coat. But on the other hand, weather is not supposed to do this.

The major side effect with having more consistently warm weather is that it harms the regulation of Earth's temperature. Life has sustained on Earth for millions of years because of the fact that it has had just the right environmental conditions to support living animals and plants. And we're now ruining that by releasing toxic chemicals into the atmosphere that destroy the Earth's ozone layer! And cold weather seems even more unpleasant to us because it now comes less often.

Uncomfortably freezing weather still exists, but that doesn't mean the Earth's temperatures aren't rising! And yet people still use it as an excuse to deny global warming. The arbitrary detail that an organism-specific molecule can physically exist below the arbitrary temperature of 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

And then there are the unbearably hot summers! We're getting temperatures of over 100 degrees in places like New York City where everything around you absorbs all of the sun's heat. We're always turning on our air conditioners, and even that barely works most of the time.

Look, you can enjoy the warm, non-freezing February weather all you want as long as it's here. But just keep in mind where it's coming from, and don't get too attached to it because it'll be over by the time we get to the month of May.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
