To The People Still Stuck In High School

An average person will spend four years of their life in high school, give or take a few. Every person has a different memory of high school. If you were one of the popular kids, you would probably classify high school as, "the best years of your life." If you were a nerd or loner, you're probably glad you're out of school, and that's how it should be.


Although everyone's experiences are different, we all walked the same halls, and sat in the same boring classes, and did our time. No matter what group you were in, we should all be glad we are free when it is finally over, right?

WRONG

There are some people who will spend the next two-three years searching for people to relive high school through.


There are several types of people: There is the mean girl who still loves high school drama, there is the boy who refuses to date people his own age, and there is the girl who has been graduated for two years, but still only hangs out with sophomores. I'm sure we are all familiar with these kinds of people, we have them every where.

To the mean girl that still loves high school drama, know that no one appreciates it. The girls that are still in high school have an excuse to be petty, but if you have graduated you have no reason to still be talking about the things going on in high school. Stop tweeting about drama, stop attending sporting events just to get the low-down, and get out of everyone's business. You graduated for a reason, grow up.

To the boy who refuses to date people his own age, know that that is weird. I know a guy who recently turned 20 and has never had a girlfriend who was is out of high school. The definition of insanity is repeating the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Why would you continue to still fish from the same pond you've been in for the last four years? Go out, explore, find new people! You graduated for a reason, grow up.

To the girl who has been out of high school for two years but still only hangs out with high school aged teens, you need people your own age! Go to college, join a sorority, do something other than attend high school football games to relive your miserable life through other people again. You graduated for a reason, grow up.

And finally, to the people still in high school that plan on being this way, reevaluate your life. When you graduate go out and hang out with people your own age. Go party and have fun, do something crazy, get a tattoo, live your life outside of those four walls. You graduated for a reason, grow up.

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.
