Priming is a Crime

Amazon Prime is my current and strongest addiction.

How many of you out there have Amazon Prime? Because I do, and it ruining my life in the best way I could ever imagine. Let me get this completely on the record by saying my name is Maggie and I’m addicting to priming.

I’m a Late Night Primer, it’s probably the worst of the worst because when you’re up late into the hours of the morning, you think everything is a great idea. You really think you need everything on your screen. Did you want to know my last three purchases that were a result of my late night priming issue?

The first? A makeup organizer, something that’s clear with two draws, a few cups and twenty-four small slots for me to put my lipsticks on display, because I’m totally going to school for makeup so I should have this right? I’M NOT. It wasn’t the worst thing I’ve primed in the world but definitely not something I needed in my life. However, I guess now I’ll look super organized when I go back to school with all my lipstick on display.

The second thing I primed? A Funko mystery mini Finding Dory figure. In case you didn’t know what this figure was, there’s a company named Funko that makes small figures of characters from different TV shows and movies that come in a fancy package. This one specifically sends mini figures but you don’t know which you are getting, bringing a whole element of surprise to priming…so why not! Click free shipping, and I’ll get it in two days. I now have the cute squid who inks and the grumpy octopus that’s in the new movie. Did I mention I love Finding Dory? It’s my favorite Pixar movie of all time.

The third thing I’ve recently primed was, of course, a WWE tee shirt for the one and only Finn Balor. For anyone who slightly knows me knows I’m utterly obsessed with WWE, it’s a strong passion of mine that I just can’t shake and because of that, I often find myself priming tee shirts and even a lanyard.

So why is it that priming is so easy for me? It’s part quickness and part curiosity. There’s so much you can buy on amazon and you never even need to leave the house to go shopping. You can do it all on your phone or your laptop. The speed is the best part of the deal, getting things in two or three days is the best shipping you could ever possibly get.

However, there is an upside to Priming and that comes in the form of school and dorms. With the new school year rolling around, my textbooks – all primed – came within a week of ordering them which dissolves the hassle of my worrying that they won’t be here in time for class. Especially with ordering things for my dorm room – from tapestries to light fixtures and command hooks – everything I need is within the touch of a button.

So, sometimes it comes with unnecessary items, but Amazon Prime can be the best and the worst thing of the internet and online shopping. Go forth my friends and prime to your heart’s desire but be safe and smart when you do it!

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.
