To Andy And College

It's going to be a love affair for the ages.

To Andy And College

In my family, Christmas is a holiday that follows a strict routine. We open presents, then we eat our food. After that, my sisters and I fight over what we're going to watch. I always want to watch basketball. They always want to watch Love Actually. Unfortunately, they always win(Why do we watch the same movie every year? God only knows).

However, we broke tradition this year and for good reason: This weekend, my family gained an awesome human being. My sister's significant other, Andy, popped the question inside the Escape Room( where you get locked in and must attempt to escape using the clues in the room). It literally couldn't have been any more perfect. I'm already excited for the wedding!

Andy is beyond caring. Getting to know him has been a fantastic experience. Talking about life with him has been great. His intelligence and wisdom shines through in every conversation. He's easily one of the most genuine people I've ever met.

My sister couldn't have picked a better person to join our family. I've never had a brother(I grew up with 4 sisters), and I'm extremely pumped to have one. I'm already excited for all the tennis that we'll play (he used to be a tennis pro) and all of the talks we'll have about life. Watching him help my sister be the best version of her has been exhilarating. It was clear that he was special, since she couldn't stop talking about him, and she's never been like that when anyone else. I can already tell that this will be a love affair for the ages.

Like KD joining the Warriors, it still hasn't quite sunk in yet for me(speaking of: did you see that dunk he had on Kevin Love today? It was almost good enough to make this list.) However, I can say one thing for sure: Andy is a welcome addition to the family!

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.
