1. You see the perfect boot. You must have this boot. Nothing will stop you from having this boot.


2. You read the description of the boot.You’re playing with fire—the shaft height is a little too tall for your 4’11 and three-quarters frame (the three quarters are important), and it’s a pull on boot without a zipper. How will the boot ever fit over your muscular calves and your thick thighs? UGH FUCK IT YOU KNOW YOU’RE BUYING THEM ANYWAY BECAUSE YOU HAVE A COUPON.

3. Clickety-click-click the boot has been bought.


4. Two weeks pass. Honestly, you forgot you even bought the boots because they are taking so goddamn long to ship. WHAT AM I KIDDING YOU HAVE BEEN COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS. THE BOOTS ARE ALMOST HERE.

5. The boots arrive. You are ready. You are more excited about these boots than the time your first boyfriend said he loved you. Oh wait, he never said that because he’s the worst. BUT THESE BOOTS ARE THE BEST.

6. You unpack the boots as though you heard that Christmas is coming twice this year.

7. You look at the boots. You flirt with the boots. You make sweet love to—oh wait. Your cats are watching. You’ll continue this love affair when you have more privacy.

8.You try on the boots. You pray that they fit. You got curvy legs, and you’ve only seen skinny ladies rocking the over-the-knee boot. You take a deep breath. You put your foot in…

9. And your foot fits! You are the modern-day Cinderella. Now on to the hardest part—getting the boots up the rest of your leg. You start pulling the boot up your calf and…

10. FUCK IT’S STUCK IT’S NEVER GETTING UP (this is you having a mini panic attack that the shoes will never fit).

11. After you lay down on the floor for a bit, questioning your very existence, you ask your mom to help you pull the boot up your calf.

You sit down and cry as she slaves away on the boot. She keeps yelling, "WHY ARE YOU MAKING ME DO THIS I HAVE ACTUAL WORK TO DO" as your cats look on. Even they are worried, and they are hardcore bitches.

12. Moms are miracle workers. The boot is up the calf. But it isn’t over. The boot still has to get over your knee…

13. You throw plates at the wall. You set fire to your soul. You’re almost ready to give up, but your calf and foot look so damn sexy in the boot—you must have the boot.

You put your game face back on, sit down, and lock eyes with your knee and your boot, demanding them to work together.

14. You lay down flat on your bed and yank the boot up like your life depends on it. It inches slowly up your thigh as you take copious breaks. After three hours and forty-two minutes, the boot…

15. Is on your leg! You’ve made it! It’ll probably cut off your circulation, but you’ll look so goddamn good while this happens. You’re almost ready to go clubbing and show off your new boots when…

16. You realize that you have to put the other boot on. Honestly, you might as well end it all right here, right now.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
