Sometimes I Wish I Could Be Irresponsible...

Just to be carefree... and watch a lot of Netflix.

If I could just not care about what happens in my life... everything would be a whole lot easier. I wouldn't be in college... I would do the bare minimum to get by and do whatever the hell I wanted... Sometimes that sounds so nice. I would love to just have one whole month where I wouldn't have to go to work, I wouldn't have homework, I wouldn't have to leave my room. A whole month with no rehearsals, no commitments. Just being able to do nothing for awhile and not having to feel guilty about it. As I type all of this out my mind begins to relax a little bit. It sounds AMAZING.

Lately my life has been so chaotic and so stressful that quitting sounds like a damn near perfect plan. No homework? Sleeping in? Dare I say being able socialize every once in awhile? That sounds pretty cool to me. That and the overwhelming amount of time that I would have to watch Netflix... it sounds pretty dang awesome.

But as amazing as all that may sound, would I actually be happy? Could someone find meaning in a life like that? Could anyone actually SUCCESSFULLY live a life like that? It makes me wonder..

But the important thing to realize is that if you have never had a thought like this... you may not be human. So keep fantasizing about a life with no responsibilities. And take every opportunity that you can to try and recoup from your crazy life every once in awhile.

But also don't forget to: (if you're me)

Go to EVERY class, do your homework, go to rehearsal, go to job number 1, go to job number 2, keep your room clean (okay, maybe just livable), feed your bunny, pay your bills, find time to eat, find time to sleep (when you're not working 3rd shift, going to class, going to a rehearsal, going to job number 2, or doing your homework), call your family and tell them you love them, shower more than twice a week... oh and breathe. Breathing is good.

Those are pretty much the bare essentials, for me anyways. But for the rest of you who have taken enough interest in my article title, JUST DO YOU. and sometimes, just do nothing (:

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.
