Singapore Mermaid School Becomes Dream School For Girls Worldwide

Okay, I know I'm not the only girl out there who agrees when I say that mermaids are just awesome, and I kind of wouldn't mind living out life as one. I mean, what's not to love? Fabulous hair, endless oceanic friends, and a free seashell bra. Anyways, you're in luck and can fulfill your dream at an actual mermaid school.

A story just popped up recently about Singapore opening its first mermaid school, where you can learn how to swim like a mermaid (tail included, obviously) as well as explore their mythology and culture.

The article goes more in depth, with a play-by-play of the lessons learned while attending the school. The first lesson starts with "mermaid theory." It all sounds pretty nerdy and ridiculous, but don't you tell me that you're not secretly looking this place up right now.

In addition to learning all the ins and outs of being a mermaid, the school is a place for all of the students to come together and bond over something they are all passionate about: being a freakin' mermaid.

So obviously, Singapore is a bit of a trip to be making. Luckily, Los Angeles is offering classes as well. Although it isn't the full-fledged academy, you can still get a little insight. The class is held during the months of June and July andis apparently taught by those who have played mermaids on-screen.The classes are suitable for any age and are taught by professionals.

To make the whole thing even crazier, once you've mastered the whole mermaid thing, you can apply to be a professional mermaid at a theme park in Florida called Weeki Wachee Springs. For the last 70 years, it has been known as the "home" of mermaids. The fact that that's even a thing is ridiculous, but to each their own. Apparently, you have to be amazing to even get accepted. The company's public relations manager, John Athanason, said "We have a lot of girls who audition, and very few of them would actually make it." Allegedly, of the 50 women who attended the latest audition, only two were accepted. Mix that with colder spring weather, heavy currents, and wildlife, and then it doesn't sound too appealing anymore.

We'll leave all that to the die-hard professionals, but I'll just keep dreaming.

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.
