Poem: Pop culture love cliches

Be the girl I never notice.

Stay in the background

and love me from afar.

As I fall for your best friend.

When she breaks my heart

pick up my pieces

and put me back together as you confess

your love for me

and I look in your eyes

and tell you

youre just a friend.


Be my Ramona Flowers.

Ignore my past

of heartbreaks and desperation.

I’ll fight your seven evil exes

if you dye

your hair every two weeks.

Overcome your insecurities

and I’ll learn the power of self-respect.

Your independent and don’t need me,

but love me, even though

I cheated on you that one time.


Be my oriental Mary Jane

and we can piss off

all the racist fans.

Our first kiss will be after

saving your life, while reinforcing

the damsel in distress stereotype.

Let’s get married as you abandon

your potential and become a Parker.

We can have mixed little babies

with dark skin and long black hair.

Be my stay at home mom

cause sorry Hun, justice calls.

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.
