Stop Thinking, Start Doing

Now is the time to stop planning the perfect situation and go with the flow.

As a girl, I sit here and over analyze every situation I have ever had with a boy. Whether its a pointless interaction in a coffee line, a first date, or the worst breakup I've ever had, I over think every aspect of it.

Girls calculate every situation that could occur and base their decisions on how they think the boy might react. It's something we have mastered and when the boys don't follow the script it either makes us wanna strangle them or push them into the closest closet for a steamy make out.

But what happens when we don't choose the calculated boy, the nice boy who you know would be great and says all the right things? What happens when we choose the boy we haven't given any thought to and we just go with it?

The boy who pisses you off so much you wanna scream but you refuse to give him the time of day to do so. The boy who you know you like but don't put forth the effort to care when he's with another girl.

This is when you become the best you that you can be, this is when a girl has reached the "I know I can find a better you" feeling and man does it feel great.

College is great because its the perfect time for carefree flings, it's a time to tell the hot boy at the party you need another drink or the cute boy in English that you really don't understand and need a tutor. (We all know you get it far better than he does, hell your an English major.)

Now is the time to stop planning for the perfect situations and go with what happens in your life. So instead of taking your love life by the reins, just ride freely for a while.

Don't go searching for the perfect boy, with the perfect future, who would make the perfect dad because, in all honesty, a ring on your left hand in the next five years scares the hell out of you.

Go for the boy you think you don't have a chance with and see what happens. Because in the end, it doesn't matter if he was Mr.Right or Mr.Wrong at least you shot your shot.

Todays the day you stop thinking and start doing. Go for the gold baby.

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.
