Be the example you should be for your child and quit crying because you lost.

Sorry, But Serena Williams Is A Bad Role Model For Young Girls

I realize I'm probably going to get a lot of backlash for this, but Serena is terrible in every way possible.

Why don't we first begin with the fact that she claims to be a feminist and supporter of all women, but treats a lot of them like trash. If you watch videos of some of her matches, she is screaming at them, claiming they aren't doing their job, or they're terrible to look at, etc. I realize she does this to the men as well, and by no means am I saying that's ok, but someone who states she's a supporter of feminism should not be downgrading these women like this. I don't care who you think you are.

To continue, can we please just pay close attention to the fact that she threw her racket at the U.S. Open. A grown woman pitched a tantrum fit because she lost. All while still screaming at the poor people working the event. She wasn't getting her way so she pitched a fit. This is what 5-year-olds do, not grown adults. It's childish, and horrible, not to mention it completely took the spotlight away from the one who truly deserved it because of her win, Naomi Osaka.

Finally, she is a mother. I get it, she's an athlete and super competitive. That doesn't give you permission to act the way she acts. She has a child to be an example to, though. When she's over there pitching fits, trying to get her way when she clearly hasn't earned it, what example does that set for her child? What example does that set for all children?? A terrible one. Be the example you should be for your child and quit crying because you lost.

If you disagree with my opinions, you're wrong, but everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
