The New Trend: Unplugged Weddings

Just put your phone away already.

The New Trend: Unplugged Weddings
wedding bee.com

In the modern world, phones and technology are everywhere you look. You can pay with your phone, communicate with it, and just about do anything. Taking pictures is a major part of having a smart phone, and while that can be a good thing, to take a picture and instantly show it to friends and family all over, the obsession can also be a bad thing. Take a wedding for example.

Imagine, it's your big day, and all you want to do is lock eyes with your bride or groom as you walk down the aisle, but all you can see are cell phones taking pictures of the reactions. And when you get your pictures back from that awfully expensive wedding photographer, the borders are flooded with phones. That is why it is time to consider participating in the trend of unplugged weddings. An unplugged wedding would be one where you ask the guests to put their phones away, and just enjoy the memories. After all, this will hopefully only happen once in your life. The guests will hardly notice if they can't Instagram the moment. Remind them that they can access the professional photos at a later time and that they are there for a reason. Also, the bride does not want people standing in her way to distract her from what really matters, the food, the groom. So consider this, my friends, if you're at a wedding and they don't ask you to put your phone away, just do it anyways; the photographer will 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.
