Regardless Of The Stereotype, I Am Proud To Be An Aries
Bailey Reiser

The zodiac sign Aries is known to be an aggressive group of people who don't put up with anyone's crap. Stereotypically we are a group of people who are self-absorbed and very quick to lose their temper. Most people try to avoid an Aries because they feel that they are hardheaded and that they will attack them for doing little things or for getting on their nerves. I have always been told that Aries is the sign you think of when people get upset easily or whenever I'm scrolling through Twitter and those astrology accounts pop up, Aries is always the sign with underlying aggression to their answer.

This is something I have always found offensive in a way because I don't find myself an overly aggressive person.

I never felt that I really identified with my zodiac sign and I was upset at a young age that I didn't fit into this stereotype that I thought I should. Since everyone had always told me about the negative sounding aspects of an Aries, I never knew there was even a positive side to it. The negative and destructive aspects of the sign were always prominent.

While this can be true, I feel like there is so much more to this group that is seen by the world and the people who do not fully educate themselves on the qualities of the signs. Naturally, I find myself falling into some of the ideas of the Aries sign. I am a very stubborn person and I do like the risk-taking aspect that follows the stereotype. However, instead of the negative connotation associated with some of the qualities, I fight to find the positive even through these derogatory aspects.

While everyone finds the bad, I feel like this aggression associated with the Aries is something that I mentally have altered to make the understanding that I'm not aggressive, but I am strong and powerful. I am the type of person that will not let other people walk all over me. I stand my ground and make sure that I am confident and pushing to be the strongest one that I can be. I feel like along with this negative idea associated with the temperament of the Aries sign, it makes us feel like we have to hide the fact that we are who we are.

I'm proud of who I am.

Being an Aries has automatically made me stronger. I love that I have this sense of adventure and willingness to try new things. I may be stubborn, but I really just see it as taking a stand and being determined. When I set my mind to something, I make sure I go through with it. No one can change my mind because I know what is right for me and what I want to accomplish in my life. I feel like being assigned to this star sign has really helped me find myself. I am so appreciative that this has helped push me to become who I am today.

Yeah, we may be thought to be this crazy controlling and harsh type of person, but we also are the people who never give up, who see their goals at the end of the tunnel, and the people who are always open to new adventures and treasuring the way that it takes to get there. I am so thankful to be the person I am today, and I think that being an Aries just adds to the good parts of me. I hope all of the other Aries out there love themselves as much as I am learning to love myself. Happy Aries, season ladies and gents.

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.
