5 Pros And Cons Of Living In Houston
Karishma Dawood

Houston is one of the best cities in the world, we all know it. There are upsides and downsides to living in Houston and it doesn't every really change. Here's a list of the pros and cons of living in Houston...

1. Pro - The amount of restaurants and amazing food here is ridiculous.

Sometimes we get "bored" but that's because we don't venture out enough. I personally love trying new food but when the time comes to go try new restaurants, I just go running back to the ones I know and love.

2. Con - The weather here isn't the best.

It doesn't get cold in the winter, fall and spring are there but not enough to declare them seasons in this city, and summer is boiling hot. You can probably cook an egg on the street in the middle of July if you tried. If it rains once, you know it's going to rain for days and there will be no end to it. When it's sunny, the sun is beating down so hard it burns you in a matter of minutes. The best part (not literally) is the humidity. Houston and humidity were made to go together without humidity, there's no Houston.

3. Pro - Houston is known for it's culture.

The art around town is breathtakingly beautiful as it varies from graffiti walls to Houston pride to crazy sculptures. You will never be bored driving around Downtown Houston as there's always something new to see! The music in Houston is forever growing and the number of celebrities that are from Houston is amazing. Tom Ford, Beyonce, Hilary Duff, Wes Anderson, and Travis Scott are just a few of the most famous ones.

4. Con - Houston traffic is absolute madness.

If you get stuck during rush hour, don't expect to be home for at least an hour and a half. Also, if you didn't already have a headache then you sure will by the time you get home!

5. Pro - There's always something to do in Houston.

If you're bored you can go bowling, go to a park, drive around downtown, try new coffee shops. Sometimes it feels like there's nothing to do but there's more than enough it just takes a little driving and some time!

As you can see, there are more pros than cons, which definitely goes to show that Houston is a wonderful city. It just seems boring to the people who have lived here their entire lives but overall it's great and I couldn't imagine living anywhere else!

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.
