Why You Should Go to Prom
Kathleen Cuddy-Egbert

Often people in high school think prom is a waste of money with the fancy get up, tickets, and food when you only use them for one night. However, it can lead to a super fun night as well as it a new experience of dressing fancy. There are many reasons that people should go.

It may cost a lot of money but dressing up classy for such an event is truly fun. Looking your best is always a mood booster for both girls and guys. Doing hair, makeup, having your nails done, getting ready is a huge part of the fun. You get out of school a bit early and just get to make yourself look nice.

Possibly the best part of prom is getting to show off how you look to the entire school and town. Generally, other people come to watch and the newspaper writes about it. Walking around looking the best you ever have is such an incredible feeling. You feel almost like royalty and you feel so proud that you look so stunning. Everyone is giving out compliments and is really happy. It is such a happy occasion that it would be a shame to miss it.

Prom is an experience everyone should have. Whether or not you are big into dances, like getting dressed up, or enjoy crowds of people you should go at least once. It is an incredible experience especially if you go with someone you are close to. Even if you don't have a significant other to go with, going with a best friend can be just as fun. You don't have to dance either, talking and enjoying yourself is the best part of prom.

So even if you don't want to go to prom, find someone to go with. Give the experience a try. It is worth it and if you really don't like it then you can usually leave early. But give it a try, maybe find one dance to dance to. It will be an experience like no other, you won't find anything similar to it in college.

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.
