I love seltzer. Seltzer, for those of you who have an uncultured palette, is carbonated water with a natural flavor, such as lemon, lime, orange, etc. Yes, recently they made Spiked Seltzer which is an alcoholic beverage, but that is not what I grew up with. My family and I are basically seltzer addicts and we always have a dozen cases in our garage so we never run out.

At college, I probably go through 10 dozens of seltzer cans per semester. Call me crazy, but I just love it. There are some people that love it (such as my family) and others that hate it (such as my friends). However, seltzer is personally the best beverage ever and you can never convince me otherwise. Here's why...

1. It is crisp and refreshing

Opening a can of ice cold seltzer is such treat on a hot summer's day. The crisp taste of the bubbles and the citrus flavor make it so refreshing and irresistible. Just describing it makes my mouth water!

2. It is versatile and can be a casual or fancy drink

You can drink seltzer while laying on your bed watching Netflix or have it be served to you in a cocktail at a wedding. Seltzer is versatile and can fit any occasion that you desire! Drink it plain or mix it with juice or alcohol to make the perfect drink.

3. It counts toward your daily intake of water

It is recommended that we drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water per day. However, it is so hard to drink plain water sometimes. People like to put in sugary drink mixes to make it taste better, but that is not good for you. Instead, try picking up a glass of seltzer which counts towards your daily intake of water and is extremely good for you!

4. There are only two ingredients

Ah yes, the dreaded nutrition label. We all hate to look at this because all we see in the foods and drinks we love is sugar and high fructose corn syrup. However, the only thing you will see on the label of seltzer is two ingredients— carbonated water and natural flavor. It's as simple as that. Seltzer is zero calories and you will have zero regrets drinking it. So go ahead and crack open a cold 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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
