Stuff About Yours Truly

This Is Real, This Is Me
Jersey Evening Post

Usually, people start off writing an introduction to themselves as "Hi, I'm (blank) and I am (blank) years old. I am majoring in (blah blah blah) and my hobbies are (even more blah blah blah)." Not this time though. I will be writing about myself differently so I don't bore you all with the stereotypical "Hi my name is..." statements. Instead, I will tell about myself things that I feel are necessary to know about who I am as a person.

One of the first things I say to people when I meet them is "Sorry" and "Ahhhh" because I'm usually too nervous to say anything else in a comprehensible language. And If you see me with my headphones in, I'm usually not listening to music. I'm just trying to concentrate. Most of my friends and I talk through Snapchat so I'm often seen in public places making faces at no one in hopes no one sees (even though I know everyone probably saw). I claim to eat healthy, but in reality I eat more pasta and ice cream than anyone else I know. Being an ex-wanna-be-scene girl (shudder), I really like pop/punk/rock music of any kind. Jellyfish are the most beautiful creatures in the world to me aesthetically, but I also believe dogs have the most beautiful souls in the world. The Rogue Valley has been my home since as long as I can remember and Ashland is by far my favorite city in the world (so far). I also would like to add I have a dry sense of humor and the amounts of sarcasm I sprinkle on to everything are a little too heavy for some, so proceed with caution.

As I write more articles, I will hopefully be able to convey who I am in others ways. I'm very excited to be an odysey writer and couldn't be happier than where I am now at SOU doing what I love.

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.
