Quit Being B*tches

This is my reality check/really harsh life lesson for you ladies. Stop. Being. Bitches. Or better yet, stop being Regina George. Stop the unnecessary cattiness, stop the drama, stop the talking behind each other's back and stop tearing one another down. It is so unnecessary for us to be doing this to one another, yet we still do. Every girl has had that feeling of being talked about or has been degraded by someone. That feeling of complete isolation and that you aren't good enough. The feeling hurts, a lot. So then why do we girls, who have felt this way, go around and make others feel that exact same way? The cattiness amongst girls has always been an issue, but it seems to be more present now with the help of technology. Quick texts allow for girls to exchange nasty messages about another girl, right in front of her. We can now snap another's girls outfit choice and make fun of her for wearing the wrong kind of boots. In this day in age, we women need to stick together and pull one another up, not tear one another down. So here are some life lessons I have learned over my 21 years of being in this world.

Keep out of someone's business unless they bring their business to you. I can't tell you the amount of times I have heard two or more girls talking about someone else's business without that girl present. They were literally discussing this girl's personal information and giving input, but the girls wasn't even there. I wanted to tell them to stop and let her live her life but it's not my business either. Don't be Gretchen Wieners where your hair is filled with secrets, but somehow those secrets get around really fast. Also, we women can actually make decisions for ourselves based off our own judgement. I know, shocker right?! Who we choose to associate with, who we wish to date and what we wear--all decisions made by us. If I choose to wear fringe boots, it's because I think I look damn good in them. I don't care if they are not your style, I liked them, I spent money on them, so I'm gonna wear them. You don't like the guy I'm talking to? Too bad, I do and I'm the one investing my time. If you want, you can tell me one time to my face how you feel, but odds are I'm not going to listen to you and after that you never have to voice your opinion again. I'll make my judgements on him and people in general based off how they treat me. If the treating me better than I've been treated before by the way, then most likely he's a keeper. You just don't need to put yourselves in others people's business, simple as that.

It is very simple for us girls, we need to be bringing one another up. Not tearing one another down. What Regina and her "plastic crew" should have done was be nice to other girls, accepted Cady for who she was and defy the stereotype of "Mean Girls." We spend so much of our time judging and talking poorly of one another, when we could be building everyone up. In this day in age, with bullying, discrimination and so many other issues in this world. There is no need for a girl to talk about another girl, she should go focus on something much bigger than that. We should be focusing on how to better this world and make this world more accepting. So let's stop being catty women and instead, join forces and stand up for one another.

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.
