Sometimes the grocery store is a wonderful fantasyland and sometimes its a grueling internal struggle.

Thoughts I Have at the Grocery Store

  1. YES. Grocery store! Alright!
  2. Oh look, they have all the Halloween stuff out.
  3. And they have pies on sale…
  4. Nope. We’re going straight to produce.
  5. Get all your vegetables first, and you can decide what will go with them.
  6. The green onions look SO GOOD.
  7. OMG SHALLOTS.
  8. What can I make with shallots? They go with everything.
  9. I should make chicken with shallots and veggies.
  10. So maybe some carrots, green beans, and red potatoes.
  11. That makes me want potato salad from the prepared foods section.
  12. NO. IF YOU GO TO PREPARED FOODS, YOU’LL NEVER LEAVE.
  13. Bananas and apple for snacks. That’s healthy.
  14. Why do they put the bakery right next to the produce? That’s mean. They should make you go through the dessert section last. Dinner first, then dessert.
  15. So I need chicken, do I want this brand? Is this one better quality? It looks nicer, but it could also be one of those companies that PETA is investigating. Moving on!
  16. Do I need more condiments? You know what, I probably need spices. What do I use a lot?
  17. Nothing. I use nothing a lot. I should really get a few spices and herbs to try them out.
  18. There are so many options. Why don’t they have tarragon?
  19. I heard tarragon is what goes in those cucumber tea sandwiches.
  20. I LOVE those cucumber tea sandwiches.
  21. I should make a bunch of tea sandwiches!
  22. I’ll try some recipes out tonight, and if they’re good, I’ll make them for that thing on Friday.
  23. Okay, searching for tea sandwich recipes.
  24. Wow, no, this is too complicated. I’m not trying to cut out all these fancy shapes and get all these random ingredients. Next time.
  25. Focus on vegetables. Butter goes with everything; do I have butter at home?
  26. I’ll just sauté the shallots in butter and add in the veggies, give it a little lemon juice.
  27. That makes me want lemonade; I should make fresh squeezed lemonade.
  28. I SHOULD MAKE LEMONADE FOR THAT THING ON FRIDAY.
  29. Brilliant. Going back to the lemons.
  30. Do not look around in the bakery.
  31. Although some rolls would be nice with dinner.
  32. I could get some bagels for breakfast.
  33. The cakes always look so good.
  34. Is that tiramisu cake?? That’s not fair.
  35. I could probably get one slice, or one of these mini pies, or one cupcake. Something small would be a nice treat, but not overkill. But which one?
  36. The cake is expensive, I should get the pie. But the cake looks so good. Plus, if I’m splurging on sweets, I should just go for it, right?
  37. No, thank you, I don’t need any help. I’m just struggling with my inner demons.
  38. You know, I don’t need a treat. I’ll get one next time.
  39. I just need something for lunch tomorrow.
  40. If I make enough dinner, I can eat leftovers for lunch tomorrow.
  41. Still, I am really good at not actually making enough for that to happen.
  42. I should get frozen meals. They are the easiest option. Plus they have veggies!
  43. Okay so they have the fettuccini alfredo I love, the mushroom ravioli I love, the spaghetti I love, and the scampi I love.
  44. These are all pasta. How did this happen? I think I only eat pasta.
  45. That’s okay; I’m going to get this vegetable medley. That balances it out, right?
  46. Okay, this is it. I just have to make it to the register without buying more.
  47. Except for these crackers.
  48. And this can of corn.
  49. And these chocolate chips.
  50. And this plant.
  51. And I need toothpaste.
  52. Plus this orange juice.
  53. Is that sushi?
  54. I'm going to need a bigger basket.

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.
