The Real American Horror Story

Whether or not they're a hoax, or a real freaky truth, the clowns that have been surfacing around the United States have left us all on our toes. Going out for a late night walk with your friends suddenly does sound like a good idea. A college campus seems to need a little bit more security and you double check the locked door at night. So, are these creepy dressed clowns real, or just another hoax?

These clown sightings have spread across the nation, causing a spook throughout our homes. Sightings have been reported in about 5 states including North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia and Kentucky. Talking these sightings over with my friends, I haven't decided whether or not to take it seriously, because it would be illogical not to. Either way, they have been causing the attention that they are striving for. Going to a university and hearing the rumors about these clowns showing up by Mens Village, a Baptist Church and an confirmed sighting by the Green River Lake, the students have been on high alert when it comes to 8 p.m.

There is some truth to these clown rumors, to an extent. There have been an arrest in Kentucky after dressing up as a clown in a wooded area lurking around an apartment building at about 1:00 a.m. In Kentucky it is not illegal to dress up, but it is when it is meant for intent to harm or alert others.

In Glasgow, Kentucky, there have been several sightings, and this have prompted the police to give a warning to the locals that they are standing in parks and city streets. Pulaski County, Kentucky have had a minimum of three reports of clowns acting sketchy. Greenville are have had sightings as well, so it looks like it has stayed in Southern Kentucky.

If it's true or not, our worst nightmare is becoming closer and closer to reality. Twisty from the hit TV show American Horror Story is not as out of reach as it was 6 months ago. So, until these clowns have stopped posing a threat to the states, keep your eyes open and your range wide.

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.
