Things To Do When You're Bored And Can't Sleep (Like Me)
Clipart Kid

Today I woke up relatively early, had class, had lunch, and you probably don't care about all the other things I did because you most likely did them too. That's exciting, good job! So now it's 11:33PM on a Monday night and I'm sitting here with a calculus test and paper due tomorrow and I'm trying to "have a night." Aka, I have so much energy that I could literally be up for four more hours trying to expend said energy in fun ways before going to bed rather than studying for that test looming over my head. Here is a list of things to do when you're bored and can't sleep, like me.

1. Have a water balloon fight.

2. Stalk people on Instagram.

3. Put an Oreo on your eye and try to get it into your mouth without your hands.

4. Change the world.

5. Become President.

6. Do Buzzfeed quizzes.

7. Do something crazy!!!

8. Try to give some of your energy to other people who could use some.

9. Play Mario Cart balloon battle.

10. Send your friends weird memes.

11. Download the "Gif Keyboard."

12. Make a fort.

13. Dress up your dog.

14. See how many cartwheels you can do in one minute.

15. Find Narnia.

16. Figure out how to spell "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious." (sorry, beat ya to it)

17. Look up "Tasty" videos, try to make them, and fail.

18. Watch cookie decorating videos on Instagram.

19. Run to get a "Cookout" milkshake and Uber back.

20. Text your good friend Beyoncé and listen to "Lemonade" together.

21. Go to Walmart and ask if they have walls for sale.

22. Go to "Sleepy's" and get the rest of your life, or jump on their beds.

23. Become a hallway ninja. Pop out at people as they walk by.

24. Dress up as a chicken and peck at people as they walk by.

25. Tape a cone to your head and become a narwhal.

26. Try to fit into your refrigerator.

27. Become an olympic athlete.

28. Make an origami paper airplane and fly it around the room.

29. Make a YouTube channel and reminisce on your middle school self.

30. Comment on your friend's old Facebook posts from when they were 12.

It's now 12:06AM, and its still safe to say I could run a marathon. Running to cookout sounds more realistic and even then, I'd probably Uber. For your own safety and health, (and mine), we should all just probably go to bed. Let me know if you actually do anything on this list, because I'd be impressed.

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.
