1. Taking photos for my Tinder profile.

I always get stressed out when it comes to taking photos. Throw in the fact that people rate my attractiveness based on these pictures. It only leads to chaos. If I want to take a really good photo, I'll take an average of two hours just to look good. Then it takes another 30 minutes to find someone who is willing to help me take the photos. In the end, this plus taking the photos takes about three hours. In the end, I usually end up with zero photos that I actually like.

2. Showing my friends someone you matched with.

Every time I tell my friends that I started talking to a guy, they always ask for a photo. And usually, after a few glances, my friends will either approve or hate the guy for the rest of their life. There are even times where my friends will be on my phone checking out the guys who would be a perfect match for me. Usually, we all make a unanimous decision on who I should swipe for. This is a fun way to spend times with my friends.

3. Going on Tinder whenever I'm bored.

I always had the horrible habit of going onto Tinder whenever I was bored and didn't know what to do. This always lead to me mindlessly swiping through people, not fully paying attention to who I was swiping for. My mindless swiping lead me to some very interesting/unwanted conversations with guys I was never interested in the first place. One of many reasons for why I stopped using the app.

4. Getting excited whenever you have a lot in common with a guy.

I'm terrible at carrying out a conversation. I never know what to say. I always feel very awkward, especially when I'm talking to someone brand new. But if I find out that that person and I have something in common, the conversation gets more interesting. I get more comfortable if someone expresses interests in something I also enjoy. It makes having a conversation easier.

5. Talking to someone who is too forward.

This always happened to me. There would always be a guy who seemed nice. We would talk for a day or two. All of a sudden, I would get a message from them saying, "So. Want to hook up?" I automatically get annoyed and tell them that that's not what I'm looking for at the moment. This usually leads to the end of the conversation and me feeling extremely confused.

6. It's a new person every week.

Once you stop talking to one person, another one starts showing interest. And although it may be fun at first, it gets pretty boring. After a while, you just hope someone just stays a little while longer. Not saying that someone shouldn't enjoy talking to different people. I personally want someone who willing to be apart of my life and not randomly stop talking to me.

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.

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.
