A Thank You To My Boyfriend While I Was Sick
Gunnar Carr

I know it seems like if you're a girl and you're in a relationship that you are constantly thanking your boyfriend for a lot, which is totally true from personal experience. However, in this past week I feel like I have so much to thank my boyfriend for. So much that he totally deserves an article for it. (For the record, there have been a ton of people there for me, but he held my hair back while I puked, so he wins the game.)

At the beginning of the week I was extremely sick and no one knew what was wrong. I was dealing with back pain, nausea, vomiting, a fever, cold sweats, etc. You name it, I had it. I had gone down to my boyfriend's family's condo for the Fourth of July and I was sick the entire time. He was there for me the entire time. Whether he was getting me a cold cloth to put on my head, fetching medicine, grabbing me freeze pops, refilling my water bottle, rubbing my back, holding my hair while I got sick, or just telling me everything was going to be okay. I was beyond thankful for him in that moment where I felt like I was on my death bed. It had gotten so bad, he actually had to drive me home, because I could not drive myself home. I ended up finding out the next day I had a Kidney Infection. (Which I would never wish on anyone, because let me tell you, it is a living nightmare.) He texted me the whole time I was in the Emergency Room until the minute I was home. Throughout the whole week he was calling and texting to make sure I was okay, when he should have been enjoying his family vacation instead. He has spent so much time in the last week trying to cheer me up and promising me a beach trip and ice cream when I am feeling 100%. I also had to go through college orientation feeling like shit and he was there the entire time. Constantly texting to see if I was okay or if I needed something. Just sending me encouraging little pick me ups. There were times I wanted to cry, because I just was not feeling well and he knew exactly what to say to get me through. It was more than I could have asked for while he was on vacation. I know to someone else this may not seem like a lot, but when you feel the way I felt, it will mean the world to you.

So, to say that I am thankful for you is a understatement Adam, because I am beyond thankful. There aren't enough words to thank you for all that you have done for me this week. You might not see how much it meant to me, but I hope you know now. I hope I can find a way to thank you for everything this week and give you another vacation you can really enjoy. I love you to the moon and back Ad. Thank you.

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.
