A Few Reasons Why Seagulls Should Go Extinct
Ashlyn Edmondo

As I've been sitting and enjoying myself by the hotel pool here in San Diego for my cousin's wedding, I've had a few menacing visitors! The seagulls just never stop. They're everywhere, bugging and stealing and "mine,mine, mine-ing" (for those of you who have seen finding nemo)! I discussed with my cousins some reasons why seagulls should just go extinct!


1. They steal sunscreen.

Talking to my cousin, she told me she had a seagull steal her sunscreen right out of her hands!


2. They are just plain aggressive birds!

Seagulls will do anything for a bite of food or to steal something. Watch out, they'll bite you!


3. They live in places that aren't even the sea.

For my devout followers, you know I live close to Lake Tahoe, and seagulls are residents of Lake Tahoe as well! Darn birds ruining our mountain lake!


4. They poop on you.

This one is pretty self explanatory for all birds. They poop like any other animal, but for Seagulls, I think it is intentional!


5. They aren't afraid of humans.

Seagulls will walk up to any of us humans and strike up a conversation like we're old friends! You may try to shoo it away, but that never seems to work!


6. They steal breadsticks straight out of your hand.

My family and I were at the San Diego zoo years back and my sister had a breadstick in her hand while up on my dads shoulders. A seagull dive bombed and swiped the breadstick right out of her hand! Lesson learned, don't eat breadsticks on dad's shoulders!


7. They were perfectly portrayed in finding Nemo.

Whenever anyone sees a seagull they say, "mine!"


8. They have seagull telepathy.

When there's food or people on a beach with food, they swarm. They jump you like some kind of seagull gang!


9. They stare into your soul.

Seagulls want to make sure you know that they are the superior species, but that is not the case.

Seagulls are a menace to society and bug the human race. I know wishing extinction on an animal is harsh, but man, seagulls are awful!

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.
