A Thank You Letter To Air Conditioning

Dear Air Conditioning,

You will never understand the place you have earned in my heart. It's true, you do not know what you have until it's gone. Most places around the world do not love and appreciate you as much as I do. I am thankful to have you as a consistent accommodation in my life.

I've never experienced anything that makes me as comfortable as possible like you do. You always know how to heat me up and cool me down. You bring me up when I am down and have a way of always making me feel like I am at home.

There is nothing more refreshing than you after a long hot summer day. There is nothing more relaxing than you after a cold winter evening. I cherish all that you are and have to offer.

You're the one thing I can't sleep without. I sleep better knowing you are by my side at night. I can cuddle up in my sheets and sleep like a baby because of you.

I know you are a privilege that most people around the world do not have the luxury of utilizing, but in all honesty, I do not think I could live without you. The rest of the world is missing out on such a life changing amenity.

I admit, you are one of the many luxuries that I take advantage of. I am forever sorry for that. I just want you to know how thankful I am for you. I hope you understand how greatly you have improved the quality my life and happiness.

I am so lucky to have you in my life. Every room, building, or home I walk in with your presence, you never fail to give me a sense of relief and comfort. From now on, please do not ever feel like I take you for granted.

Air conditioning, After weeks without you, I now understand how much you have improved my standard of living. I love you more than you will ever understand and appreciate all you have to offer. Thank you for being you.

Sincerely,
A desperate American study abroad student in Europe

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

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.
