Two Types Of Sundays

You always want the one you're not having.

There are two types of Sundays. Whenever you are having one, you wish that you were having the other because somehow the other always seems more appealing when you are not having that one. But isn't that how it always goes, you always want what you can't have? And hindsight is 20/20 and all those other clichés.

The first type is the kind that you do not even think about setting an alarm because you goal is to do absolutely nothing. You wake up at your leisure and eventually you make your way to the kitchen or the dining hall and get some breakfast. You might even be able to consider it lunch by the time you get there. Once you finish eating, you mosey on over to the couch or back to your bed and make yourself comfortable in front of the TV or your laptop, whichever is your entertainment of choice.

Eventually a nap will occur and probably end up being one of those naps when you wake up, you question how long you have been sleeping and where you are. But you don't even bat an eye at it because there is nothing to do, it is Sunday after all. The rest of the day will be just about as lazy as the rest of it. Maybe you will go out and get some coffee or do some shopping, but most likely, you are not going to move from your current location until it is time to eat dinner.

The second type of Sunday is the one we all have a love/hate relationship with. It is the productive Sunday. You set an alarm to get up, it may not be as early as during the week, but you are still getting up on your day off. You start by having breakfast and a ton of coffee because there is a whole list of things that you need to get done today.

You start with putting on laundry, and then while that is being done you begin to clean up your room from the mess it turned into during the week, because lets face it, you don't have the time to keep up with it during the week. Then, once the laundry is done, you put it all away and organize your dressers and your closet. Once all the laundry is done and your room is clean you being to get a head start on all of your work for the week, maybe you even plan out a schedule for the week.

No matter what type of Sunday we are having, there will always be part of us wishing we were having the other type, Yes, you lying on the couch wants to be productive, and you over there cleaning away, wants to binge watch Netflix. Just make sure that you have yourself a balance of the two.

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.
