"No one cares that your boyfriend is so cute while he eats eggs."

I am a sucker for love and love hearing how people met, how long they have been in a relationship for, etc. I do not mind seeing their relationship in public or on social media as well because I am glad people can be happy with someone else. What is a pet peeve of mine though and I do not know why is seeing and hearing about someone's significant other throughout my day in person, and especially on social media.

This really is not a crisis issue; trust me there are worst things. This is simply something for me to vent about. I just do not get why people on Facebook and Instagram need to show off their significant other in not only one post but in many posts everyday and post pictures that I truly do not think anyone cares about.

I find that girls do this the most. Why do I need to see a picture of your boyfriend being cute while he eats eggs? Or know that he is going to the bathroom......

Like I said it really is not a crisis, it is just one of those things that bother me on social media. The way I handle this situation is just by passing it without acknowledging it, unfollowing the person, or just ignore it. I do not want to delete people if I talk to them here and there; I just won't admit to them that there posts annoy me.

Trust me, I am glad people are in love. I have friends who upload pics and posts abut their significant other which is fine and I am so happy for them. I am also aware that I probably post things on social media that people find annoying as well. I just do not get why people have to post pictures and comments about their lover everyday or even every second on social media.

Maybe one day if find my significant other I will start to be one of those girls talking about them every second; but I really hope not. Some things should just be left private.

For those in love though, at least you have someone, and if you feel the need to show them off, do what makes you happy and do not care about mine or anyone else's opinion.

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.
