If We Treated Men That Way

Modest is hottest...until it goes too far.

If We Treated Men That Way

Guys, there's something I need to talk to you about. It's summertime and while it's super hot outside, I think it's important that you practice modesty this summer. While you may want to be comfortable, it's important that you're careful not to stir up lustful temptations within your sisters in Christ. Here are some ways in which God's men should partake in modesty.

1. Don't go shirtless.

2. Don't take your dog (puppies especially) out in public.

3. Stay away from children.

4. Don't wear Chubbies.

5. No male rompers!

6. Don't wear a uniform of any kind.

7. No suits either.

8. Basically, as far as attire goes you're allowed one of two things: Appropriately long pants with a t-shirt OR appropriately long pants with a Hawaiian shirt. That's usually decently safe.

9. Don't get tattoos.

10. Don't come off as even a little bit flirty because if you flirt then you're basically asking for sex. (Recall that episode of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody where Agnes gets a bit too obsessed with Cody. Hey, he led her on.)

11. Don't drink because if you get drunk and someone takes advantage then it's automatically your fault for being too drunk to say no.

And if you can't tell by now, this is just a list to prove a point. If men had to live by the standards that women are told to live by every day then they would be in so much trouble. It isn't anyone else's responsibility to keep you in check. Self control is crucial and must be exercised daily. Now, with that being said, I think I'm going to go lay out by the pool in my new bikini.

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.
