A sorry "until next week" article.

I came back from visiting my home today. I got in the dorm, took out the trash and the recyclables. I decided I wanted to sleep on clean sheets and stripped my bed, replacing the white ones with my favorite jersey ones. I went downstairs and started 4 loads of laundry. I even filled my essential oil diffuser with peppermint oil to make the room smell like a candy cane.

I put on comfy clothes and sat down to write on my computer. After staring at the screen for 10 minutes I decide it would be better to clean the bathroom, just while I'm on my cleaning kick. I finished before I needed to switch around the laundry and found myself back in front of this blank screen. The cursor blinked, waiting for me to pour my brain onto the page, and I was stuck. So eventually I decided to write this down and just see where it headed. Well, I have this written now, and after some thought, I have decided to submit it.

Today was the day I realized I was fresh out of ideas to write about.


My mind has been filled with worries, and school, and other time-consuming things, and I'm running to catch up. You know life, it has to be stressful sometimes.


Today I also realized that my imagination is boundless.


I really need to focus and get my crap together, because I don't have the time to fall behind. Life is something I am planning to succeed at.

Basically, I am writing this to let you know that I am behind, but you can look forward to a better story next week. Hopefully, a really good one.

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.
