Thank You, Baristas, For Making My Mornings More Bearable

After a long and tiring finals week, I just want to take a moment to thank all of the baristas who made it possible. Thank you for smiling at me at 7 in the morning after I ask you for an iced mocha with nonfat milk...maybe three times a day. Thank you for making my drink perfectly every time.

I know you remember people's orders. The guy next to me wanted a Pink Drink, and you all knew. That's amazing. Thank you for going above and beyond.

I feel like baristas aren't thanked enough. They're always on their feet at early hours, and they're expected to make drinks perfectly. That's not an easy job. I don't know if I could do it.

I remember going into the Student Center for some Starbucks during finals week. I expected the baristas to be a little grouchy because they were so busy. They weren't. In fact, they were so kind and cheerful. One of the baristas was sweating so much under the hot spotlights that I wished I could trade spots with her (even though I have no idea how to make coffee). Yes, I can make coffee at home, but there's something even better about getting a special drink made for you.

So, baristas, thank you. I'm sorry that people aren't always nice to you. Many people see coffee as a necessity; I know I do. I'll be sure to thank you every single time, even if I'm extremely tired. That's the right thing to do. It's the least I can do to make sure you know that you're appreciated.

If you take anything away from reading this, thank your baristas for making your mornings possible. They don't get as much recognition as they should.

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.
