7 Events From Last Week More Important Than The Drake/Meek Mill Beef

7 Events From Last Week More Important Than The Drake/Meek Mill Beef

Unless you live under a rock, you are fully aware of the Drake vs. Meek Mill rap beef. I won't go into specifics, but according to Twitter, pretty much everyone thought it was a huge deal. My feed was swarmed with Drake supporters trying to end Meek Mill's career (which is well-deserved because Meek Mill's tracks were trash, and WWE got mad at him). Don't get me wrong — I love rap. And I thoroughly enjoyed these disses from Drake and Meek Mill ("Back to Back" is fire). However, a lot of world events happened this week that went unnoticed because of everyone's obsession with the rap feud. If your Twitter feed looked anything like mine these past few days, then you might have missed out on some pretty crazy news, too. Here's what you missed from last week:

1. Dylann Roof plead not guilty to 33 federal charges.

2. The Coast Guard suspended their search for missing Florida teens, Perry Cohen and Austin Stephanos, who have been lost at sea for over a week.

3. The air from the New England Patriots' deflated footballs actually inflated Tom Brady's brain and caused quite the trash talk session in the Deflate-gate scandal.

4. The Arizona Cardinals introduced Jen Welter, the NFL's first female football coach.

5. Olivia Quigley, who has stage four breast cancer, won a gold medal in the Special Olympics.

6. As if dentists weren't satanic enough, an American dentist killed the world's beloved Cecil the Lion.

7. Multiple freak accidents involving escalators and elevators in China caused death. China responded accordingly.

For what it's worth, I can only wish Twitter was around at the peak of the East Coast–West Coast hip hop rivalry (even though I was barely alive). Those tweets would have caused the Internet to literally catch fire. We would've missed out on so much news in the '90s, but it would have been well worth it.

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.
