Pros And Cons Of Being A Night Owl
Mommyish

Being a night owl is kind of awesome: You get to stay up as late as you want and do whatever, and no one is really bugging you because they're all sleeping. But being a night owl comes with some downsides such as sleeping the entire day away and missing all of the fun. But who needs social interaction anyway? I have TV, social media and all of the pillows. Get at me.

Pro: It’s dark, which is great for watching TV. It’s like HD.

Con: It’s dark, so if you need to get up there's a good chance you’re going to stub your toe or bang your shin into something.

Pro: You get to stay up until the wee hours doing whatever you want. No judgment.

Con: You end up sleeping most of the day away. Much judgment.

Pro: If you don’t have school or work the next day, you can stay up as late. No parents; no bedtime!

Con: If you have school or work the next day, you’re screwed. Nine out of 10 times, you mess up your sleep schedule for the next year-and-a-half. Oops.

Pro: Everything is quiet.

Con: Everything is quiet.

Pro: Not getting out of bed until 4 p.m.

Con: Dinner is in two hours, and all you really want is pancakes.

Pro: Because you’re used to staying in bed until four, you can sleep through anything.

Con: Even the 17 alarms you set to wake up the next morning.

Pro: Binge watching eight episodes of your favorite show without interruption.

Con: Getting hungry during episode three and not being able to make food because everyone else is sleeping.

Pro: Getting all cozy in bed.

Con: Having to pee.

Pro: Catching up on all your shows.

Con: Not being able to go to sleep because they were too scary. You can't go to sleep because it's dark, and all the monsters will come out and kill you.

Embrace your inner night owl self. Who needs sleep anyways? Fight the monsters.

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.
